Off roading in France - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

yotabattlemaiden · 08-27-2011, 11:25 AM

So my wife and I leave for Europe in 3 days. Or plan is to stay a month however I know my wife would really like to stay closer to a year to learn the language and embrace the culture. I told her if I can find a job over there I would be mire than willing to give it a shot. So the question is can anyone recommend a fab shop or generally 4x4 oriented place a visiting American might gain employment in France. From all tge searching I've done I can see that there are diffinately wheelers there but I'm not having any luck finding any shops.

Any heads up would be appreciated.

Well, the french do like their 4wheeling but its forbiden to do it just about anywhere. They have to rent or use Rented spaces to have some fun... i think!

Or, go to morocco...

You can contact Patrice, former owner of Outback Import - say Jan from Nakatanenga sent you... he lives in Avignon, in the south, but seems to know everybody in the french 4x4 community. He´s a very helpful guy.
