You could try posting in a couple of forums for Franchophiles:
http://www.expatica.com/
http://www.totalfrance.com/france/forum/index.php
http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/

There are loads more - google with: France forum

You could also advertise in your local newspaper. That way you could check
people over before giving them a key! I'd want references etc before
taking someone on :~)
