Are there any jobs that are unique to France?

Question

I’m doing a project on France, and need to know if there are any jobs/careers unique to France (or at least rare-ish in other countries). I’m not sure if there’s anything out there, but any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Answer 1

if they are, it would probably have to deal with "boulangerie" !

I've never been to so many other countries to know if some jobs are unique in France (and never been to your country), but I've seen some reports mentioning that "boulangerie-patisserie" was a speciality in France ! ???

Answer 2

hi, I'm french and after thinking of your question I don't think so. We hqve different ways to make some things (especially bakery and cooking), but you can find something close abroad.
But the french school system is quite unique.
At 14 you decide if you want to go to High School or make short studies like wood-working, hairdresser, cooking, electricity and so on.
If not you go ti High School, and at 18 you have the "Baccalauréat", so far nothing special, but after you can go to university or to "classes preparatoires", the later is unique I think. During 2 years, you study very very hard maths or sciences or economy or litteracy, depends what you choose.
After you have a comparational exams and you can enter "Grandes Ecoles", to be an engineer. In this Grandes Ecoles, it's very fun and students who had spent 2 years working so hard enjoy huge parties... It's hard studies but then you have great jobs...
