CARTES

French people over the age of eighteen are normally required to carry a « carte d'identité » that provides proof of identity in France and can also be used instead of a passport for travel to some countries. Foreign nationals residing in France for more than three months must have a « carte de séjour ». All car owners must have a « carte grise », which provides proof of ownership and must be shown along with one's driving licence if one is stopped by the police.
