It's a big step, but if you've been living in France for some time and feel settled here, then you may wish to consider applying for French citizenship. QUIZ: Do you know France well enough to become French? There are two main routes to applying for citizenship, through residency or through marriage. If you have children born in France you can apply for citizenship on their behalf once they turn 13, and if you get citizenship your children are also given citizenship. One other way to get it is to join the French Foreign Legion, as anyone who serves five years in the Legion or who is injured on active service qualifies for citizenship.
