Did you know that in France certain treaties, decrees and other laws of the Middle Ages, the French Revolution or the Vichy regime are still in force? They are outdated and completely detached from our daily lives, but these laws and other legal norms are still in force. There are also new ones that are completely ridiculous. I was totally shocked to learn what kinds of old laws are still valid in France, and I would like to introduce you to some of them. Not all of them, because there are tons of them! Not surprisingly, the France has 10 500 laws, 127 000 decrees, 7 400 treaties and 17 000 Community texts in force. That`s a fact! Again, this is not a legitimate example of strange French laws, but simply the overly harsh application of another standard rule to rail traffic. The rule states that animals traveling on the rail network must have a ticket. Rightly, the limits of this rule have been tested by a famous French delicacy, the humble snail. I thought it would be interesting to research some of Frances` most bizarre or unusual laws in the books. A quick search for strange French laws inevitably leads to the bizarre claim that you can`t have a pig named Napoleon in France. The France, like many other countries, has its fair share of strange laws. And as you`d expect from the French, some include kisses, snails and, of course, Napoleon. In addition to the burgeoning list of strange French laws governing family life, there is a legal provision that family members cannot be prosecuted if they steal from each other.

The overwhelming majority of the law of the Republic of France makes perfect sense. Yet there are strange French laws that raise eyebrows inside and outside the France. If you are traveling to a new, unknown country, you should always inform yourself about the laws and customs of the country before arriving. This will save you from unpleasant encounters with law enforcement if you accidentally practice some of your own rituals in a room where they may not be accepted. Yes, France has its fair share of strangeness – and some of its laws are no exception. There are many everyday laws that are controversial in France (such as a recent reduction in speed limits). But there are some strange French laws that non-residents find really confusing. The parents successfully invoked the law (briefly) to block their son`s marriage. The decision was eventually overturned, but not before a family was divided and widespread confusion was triggered by the fact that strange French laws like this still existed. This funny law is right. That`s what French. Of course, you can`t drink at work! Well, yes, you can.

As long as it`s wine, beer, cider or mead. Sure, you can`t get cast up, but if you`re celebrating John`s retirement, you can do so (responsibly) as long as you don`t take photos of tequila on his desk. Many countries have baby name laws that prevent parents from legally giving certain names to their children – usually to protect the child from getting an offensive or embarrassing name, such as Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden, two names that are illegal in Germany. The French Senate even has an office tasked with removing obsolete laws from the country`s legal systems – it`s known as the Bureau d`abrogation des lois anciens et inutiles (BALAI). This rule, often cited as a stereotypical example of strange French laws, bans platform-loving clinches. Created at a time when descendants were disinherited for fragile, often political reasons, this is another one of those strange French laws that seem irrelevant these days. It is one of those laws that is more outrageous than strange. It`s one of those weird French laws that are widely considered anachronistic, but small cars can still be found everywhere in France. Usually at the top of a growing transmission line. Similar laws apply to beer production in Germany and chocolate production in Belgium, showing how national laws reflect cultural values.

Every country has its own strange laws. In the UK, under the Salmon Act of 1986, you can be sanctioned for “handling salmon under suspicious circumstances”, while in the US state of Arizona, it is illegal for a donkey to sleep in a bathtub. Do you know that there are some incredibly bizarre and funny laws in France? All laws are published on a government website and are simple and easy to read. Law books contain relics of bygone eras, as well as a handful of modern French laws and special rules. This is one of those famous strange French laws that claim to reveal something about French food culture. However, the truth is less revealing, as official documents show that this is only a bit of reasonable menu planning. The France has enacted several laws to protect the French language. A 1975 law ruled that advertisers cannot use foreign words unless there is no French alternative. There are also laws that govern where bread is sold, with only locally made fresh bread being marketed as a pain filler (homemade bread). Let`s go over the 10 weirdest French laws to make sure you don`t get caught with your pants down (especially if you`re a woman: you shouldn`t be caught with your pants down either!) They all point out what a good spring cleaning in French law really needs. Of all the strange French laws that emerged in the early days of legal codification, one rule that allows disruptive parents to block marriages is perhaps the most controversial.
