CV format guide
What to know about local CV conventions before you apply in this country.
In France, a photo is more common in customer-facing sectors (retail, hospitality, luxury) and usually skipped for tech/back-office roles — there's a real anti-appearance-discrimination law behind this. 1 page is strongly preferred, and a cover letter (lettre de motivation) is essentially mandatory.
These are general guidelines based on common practice, not hard rules — a specific employer's expectations can differ. When in doubt, it's safe to keep both a with-photo and a without-photo version ready.
