Living in France

I was able to read a couple of the posts about living in France, but
my question (pardon if it has been answered) is how are you making a
living if there are no stores in which to sell your jewelry? Are
there many art shows like here in the states? I have wanted to live
in France since I visited over 4 years ago and am self employed here,
is it possible there? my email @ann_madland if this has
been covered or not quite a orchid thing. Thanks for you
