So how do you legally set about getting married in France? According Expatica.com getting legally married in France is only possible through a civil ceremony which takes place at the council offices (mairie). The couple can then follow this with a religious ceremony, a secular service, or whatever celebration they choose, in a destination of their choice.This is the case for both heterosexual and same-sex couples. Same-sex marriage was legalised in France in 2013, and the procedures and ceremonies are nearly identical to those for a heterosexual marriage. Both are called a marriage (marriage).
