LIVING IN FRANCE - RESIDENCY
Those people from the EU who want to live in France are no longer required to obtain a Carte de Sejour (Resident’s Permit)
Citizens from the USA who are moving to France for more than three months need a Visa de long Sejour (long stay visa) These can be obtained from your nearest French Consulate. Once you have your long stay visa you must obtain a Carte de Sejour (residence permit) within one week of your arrival in France from the Prefecture de Police. Take with you a valid passport, Birth and /or Marriage certificate and proof of accommodation, proof of contributions to the French Social Security, contract of employment or if you are self employed an authorisation from the Chamber of Commerce, 3 passport photographs, if retired - proof of pensions, if a student - proof from your university, if married to a French national - a copy of your marriage certificate.
Now for those people from the newer EU member states contrary to the above you do need a residence permit to both live and work in France. You can get long or short stay permits and they can be renewed as necessary. It will also cover your spouse and dependants who are under 21 years of age.
