Brexit cards, electricity bills and driving fines: 6 essential articles for life in France
"Back in 2020, as the Brexit transition period came to an end, Brits who were already living in France were required to apply for the carte de séjour residency permit. This group was given a specific card, the carte de séjour Article 50 TUE, sometimes known as the WARP (Withdrawal Agreement Residency Permit). Roughly 45,000 Brits in France will soon have to renew their post-Brexit carte de séjour - if you are one of those, here's how to go about it."
"So, it seems that some French electricity bills are going woke. Why? Because householders in France who have opted for peak and off-peak electricity tariffs will see a change in their billing, as the French government alters peak hours to reflect the contribution of electricity from solar panels."
"Clothes shopping too. Is nothing sacred? The French government has launched a scheme designed to help shoppers understand the environmental impact of the clothes they are purchasing. Participating clothing stores and brands can now include a small label called an 'écoscore textile', similar to the Nutri-Score 'food-healthiness' label, on new pieces of clothing."
Approximately 45,000 British residents in France must renew their post-Brexit carte de séjour Article 50 TUE (WARP), with a step-by-step renewal process available to eligible holders. The French government is changing electricity peak hours for households on peak/off-peak tariffs to account for solar panel contributions, altering billing patterns. A voluntary 'écoscore textile' label can be added by participating clothing brands and retailers to indicate garments' environmental impact, modeled on Nutri-Score. Recent changes to the road network introduced two new fines for motorists. Some restaurants, particularly in tourist areas, have engaged in overcharging, prompting consumer warnings.
