What is Freedom in France?
In France, everyone is free to think, express themselves, and live as they wish, as long as their actions do not limit the freedom of others. This freedom is protected by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 and regulated by the state to ensure everyone’s rights are respected.
Freedom is a universal right, with no distinction based on origin, religion, or background. It includes:
- Individual freedoms: freedom of movement with a residence permit, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the right to live with the person of your choice.
- Collective freedoms: the right to assemble, participate in demonstrations, join a union, and defend common interests.
Freedom in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
The 1789 Declaration defines natural and inalienable human rights, including:
- Article 1: All men are born free and equal in rights.
- Article 4: Freedom consists in being able to do anything that does not harm others.
- Article 11: The free communication of thoughts and opinions is one of the most precious rights.
These principles form the foundation of French law and are essential for any future resident to understand French society and its institutions.
