Couples planning to tie the knot in France may wish to have their honeymoon in the country as well, as restrictions in the law could mean a property in France is the ideal solution.

The law requires a minimum stay of four weeks in the town where the marriage would take place. Proof of residence will also be essential and so finding a property in France in your chosen area could make the process run smoothly.

French culture has a historical association with the concepts of love and romance. The castles and country estates in southern France could provide a romantic backdrop for any wedding or honeymoon.

Such is the popularity of overseas weddings, there is a vast array of wedding planners and catering services specifically intended to help UK couples enjoy their perfect wedding in the country.

Tradition dictates that an announcement of the new marriage will be publicised in the venue where the wedding has taken place. A marriage performed in France under French law is fully recognised in the UK.
