What It's Really Like Taking the French Civics Exam?

#expatlife #patriciabrooks #courage Bonjour ! I’m about to renew my French residency, but before I can apply, I have to fulfill a new requirement: the French Civics Exam. In this video, I share my experience sitting for the exam that's now required for certain cartes de séjour, resident cards, and citizenship applications in France. From registration to test-day nerves, I share what the process was really like, what surprised me, and whether all that studying paid off. If you're planning to renew your residency, apply for a long-term resident card, or pursue French nationality, this is a glimpse into what you might encounter. Questions about the French civics exam? Leave them in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer them. Take care and À bientôt !
