The first thing that came into the mind, is “If it’s legal to get married in Paris?”, and the answer is yes! However, there are some things that you have to note:
– French civil authority in a town hall is only a place that can accept civil marriage by the French law.
– To have a civil ceremony in France, you have to live for at least 40 days before preceding the marriage.
– If you want a religious ceremony in France – the priest or minister will ask you for a certificate that was delivered by the French authorities.
Because of the French law, most couples that come from abroad and have their civil ceremony in their country and then have just a “symbolic” wedding ceremony in France performed by Paris officiant or celebrant. Paris elopement always about you two together and consist of a symbolic marriage and photo session around the city.
