🚗 Driving in France with a European licence
You can drive in France with a valid EU/EEA licence (or UK licence issued before 2021).
👉 Exchange is only required if:
- it’s lost, stolen, or damaged
- you add a new category
- you commit a traffic offence in France
- it’s about to expire
💡 Note: Licence exchange is now subject to a fee.
Drive safe! 🇫🇷
