Frequently asked questions
Is a cover letter required in France?▾
In France, the cover letter (lettre de motivation) is a standard part of a job application. Most job postings explicitly request one, and submitting an application without one is generally seen as showing a lack of interest or seriousness.
How is a French cover letter different from an English one?▾
A French lettre de motivation is more formal, uses specific structural conventions (accrocher, argumenter, conclure), and ends with a mandatory formal closing formula. It is typically around 300 words, not too long, not a personal essay.

What is the formal closing formula in French?▾
French cover letters end with a mandatory formal phrase such as "Veuillez agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes salutations distinguées." This is one of the most common mistakes made by non-native writers, and one of the first things a French recruiter notices.
