The rights of Britons living in France could be wiped out by Brexit unless reciprocal deals are reached, a special meeting at France's National Assembly heard on Thursday. "When Britain leaves the EU then Britons in France will formally and legally no longer be EU citizens," said Benlolo-Carabot. Chantrey made it clear that, in albeit rare incidents, some local authorities in France were already acting as though Brexit had happened. "France is the country of human rights, can't they welcome those who have chosen to make their lives in France with open arms?" The BCC's Chantrey told The Local: I think France is already doing a lot for Britons in France and I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to speak here.
