Driving in France

Is my UK driving licence valid in France?

A British licence is valid in France. According to the European Community Directive (91/439/EEC), since 1 January 1997, British nationals taking up residence in France for more than a year do not have to exchange their British licence for a French one anymore.

For more information, please contact the French Consulate in London on +44 207 073 1200.
