D.I.Y. work among French
According to a survey released in 2017, DIY work was rather widespread in France: almost a third of the respondents said to do DIY work at least once a month. However, most of the respondents assessed their own competences in DIY home improvement works as rather neophyte tinkerers. In that same survey, 33 percent of the respondents declared having personally carried out two DIY projects within the past year.
