You have made the decision to relocate to France. For EU citizens the formalities are fairly straight forward - for non EU citizens the process is more complicated.

Moving to France explains:
European Union citizens do not require a visa to come to France to live, just a passport or identity card. They also no longer need the carte de séjour residence permit.

Citizens of some other countries require both visa and carte de séjour. Residency requirements for non-EU citizens are more strict and, in some cases, a long-term visa has to be applied for at the French consulate in the country of departure.

Another essential document for many people is a driving licence. A valid UK or other EU licence (permis de conduire) is acceptable, provided it covers the class of vehicle you wish to drive.
