Driving in France as a Foreigner - Licence Exchange, Driving Tests, Buying a Car and Paperwork

Описание: DRIVING IN FRANCE AS A FOREIGNER (2026 GUIDE) 🇫🇷🚗
So you’ve arrived in France. The bread is incredible. The paperwork is… sentient. In this video, I explain how driving in France works for foreigners, including:

✅ Can you drive in France with a foreign licence?
✅ The 1-year rule for non-EU licences (the “Cinderella licence” problem)
✅ Licence exchange (ANTS): who can swap, who can’t, and what documents you’ll need
✅ What to do if you can’t exchange: French driving test (Code + practical)
✅ Buying a used car in France (carte grise, contrôle technique, non-gage, cession)
✅ Car insurance in France (au tiers vs tous risques) + proof of driving history
✅ Crit’Air sticker + low-emission zones (ZFE) — don’t get fined
✅ Mandatory items to carry (warning triangle, hi-vis vest, etc.)

If you’re moving to France, buying a car here, or just trying to drive legally without summoning the wrath of a gendarme… this is your roadmap.
