<prompt> Human: Hello reddit. Heres the situation:I am moving to Paris for 6 months this coming may.I have a valid US passport.I will be staying at Shakespeare and company for free they give you communal living and you work a few hours a day in their bookstore to do a journalistic piece. I have 2000 saved up.Question: do I need to apply for a work visa to get a paying job? Id love to be in the kitchen even if its just chopping stuff. Bussing tables would be close enough.I do not want to work a lot of hours as I want to spend most of my time reading and writing.Thanks reddit.-A studentEdit: how much money do you think Ill need per week to live a modest life. Im talkin eggs and ramen. Perhaps a beer every now and then.  <response>: 2k in Paris for 6 months? Good luck.
