Front desk receptionist in French

Search for hôtesse d'accueil, hôte d'accueil, agent d'accueil, chargé d'accueil or standardiste. For events, look for hôtesse événementielle; in hotels, the job title is réceptionniste, which is a separate role with check-in and billing tasks. No diploma is required, though the Bac pro Métiers de l'accueil is the usual school route and a BTS in tourism or customer relations helps for bilingual head office desks. Much corporate reception is run by specialised service companies that place staff on client sites, and event work often uses short fixed-term contracts. English is frequently requested in Paris and in international companies.
