Lycee for Flight Attendants
Bonjour. My daughter has wanted to be a flight attendant since age 10. We moved to France 5 years ago and this September she has to go to lycee. We live between Bergerac and Villeneuve sut lot in the SW France. Can anyone please advise what qualifications she needs and what sort of lycee she needs to attend. We are struggling to decide. Is it a lycee professional which does commerce or is it a general lycee? Any help with this would be very welcome. Sorry it is in english but my french is not good enough for this conversation. Thankyou.

Hi ,
I really think it won't matter too much which high school she goes to . After her Bac , she might want to do a BTS in tourism or 'airport careers' or something like that if you want her to do further studies . After that ( the Bac or BTS), she just need to do her flight attendant training with one of the specialised schools ( ESMA montpellier, for example only ) . In the mean time , you can always get her to do things like a first aid course , a BAFA , swimming practice ...maybe summer jobs in the service industry ...etc... and maybe an introduction to flying or a PPL at your local flying club ... Although , careful , she might change her mind and want to become a pilot

She has to live a safe life without drug, alcohol, chosen friends, etc.
To allow her too to get a pilot, help her to learn math, physic, sport !
In any case she hasz to study foreign languages (probably she will speak fluent English at home ?)
So a scientific section in a european Highschool ("lycée européen") would open the best doors to your daughter. Good teachers, not too many students in the class, but challenging. She has to pass always to the upper class without problem. You have one in Bordeaux.
After the "bac" (mention will help her) she will still be too young to get stewardess, she will learn something more specialized if she wants.
Good luck and Welcome in France to the whole family.
Perhaps this link might prove helpful for a post-Bac qualification ....

All the very best to your daughter ... and make sure she keeps her languages going! It might be worth trying to supplement her language qualifications outside the Baccalauréat by taking the Cambridge series of examinations (First, Advanced and Proficiency) to boost her English and the Goëthe-Institut series - ZDaF (Zertifikat Deutsch aus Fremdsprache) or ZMP (Zertifikat Mittelstufenprufung) ... your local Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) may have a languages centre as we have in Colmar.

I'd agree with what others here have posted: I don't think the Lycée matters, or even the specific Bac - but she must keep her languages "going". After the Bac would possibly be the time to look for some sort commercial/marketing qualification that will make her more attractive to the airlines.

What the airlines like to see in a flight attendant resume: "voyage linguistic".
Send your daughter in a foreign country to learn a new language during the summer holidays.
I have been years ago a flight attendant for Air France for a bit less than a year, it was a really nice experience and it paid my instructor rating
Years later I am captain on the same kind of airplanes I was working on as a cabin crew

That's a sweet story, I hope I'll be able to do the same thing
