Welcome to France Rights, the website of British in Europe in France


We aim to provide information and promote knowledge of citizens' rights for British people living in France, and to support people in understanding and meeting the conditions for legal residence in France so that they can secure their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.

We also aim to represent the interests of the British in France on all matters relevant to citizens' rights through campaigning, advocacy, engagement with political and administrative bodies and with the media, and through raising awareness on the situation of UK citizens who have
​exercised their free movement rights to live in France.

ABOUT US
ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS
THE WITHDRAWAL AGREEMENT
OTHER FRANCE INFO
France Rights provides information and promotes knowledge of citizens' rights for all British in France, and represents their interests on all matters relevant to citizens' rights. We are a founder and core member of British in Europe, the coalition of UK citizens in Europe.

We are a totally independent platform, in regular communication with, but not linked to or funded by, either the British or French governments or the European Commission. This means that we can represent your interests in a completely independent and impartial way.
It also means that as a voluntary organisation we are - like British in Europe - unfunded, except for donations from our supporters.
If you value what we do and would be willing to support our work, please click here to donate.
