chris pp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I expect someone else will tell you how to go about bringing them, this relates to hunting only, for more info go to: http://www.oncfs.gouv.fr/permis/index.php Situation des non-résidents, français ou étrangers, titulaires d'un permis d'un permis de chasser étranger :Aux termes de l'article L.423-21 nouveau du code de l'environnement, l'exercice de la chasse en France par des non-résidents, français ou étrangers, détenteurs de permis de chasser délivrés à l'étranger ou de toute autre pièce en tenant lieu, est subordonné à la validation de ces documents dans les conditions applicables aux permis de chasser délivrés en France.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Roy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Apart from the legalities re. bringing them over what are you going to do with them when you are here? Did you know you have to belong to a Societie de Chasse to be able to use the shotguns - even on your own land?By the way if you copy Chris's post and paste on Google language tools you will get a translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egger Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 no did not no this, to be honest have tried to find info on subject for the last month even writing to the british embassy with no reply think i might leave them here then bring them over later, have enough on my plate with selling up trying to find info on health care taxes etc ageing by the day, but thanks anyway [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 In a nutshell, it says that "foreign" permits are subject to equivalence with the standards in place in France for a permit to hunt.In addition, A temporary French permit would be required of limited duration which I understand is quite short, sort of holiday break. After this a permis de chasse would be required, for this there is a two part test, theory and practical, this is not difficult but it is in French and a knowledge of the regulations in France is required.Anyone, anywhere, in France using any of the legal methods to kill creatures must be in possession of a Permis de Chasse or be an agreed "trapper" (pest controller), the latter do not use weapons as such.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egger Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 i dont want to kill anything we just shoot clays at a club we go i dont no if there is anything like that in france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 There's plenty of clay pigeon shooting, called "Ball Trap", a licence is required for guns used for this purpose, I gather it's much easier to obtain, but not something that I know a great deal about.Someone will though,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egger Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 thanks chris for all your help its very kind of you i will have to try and find out what i need to do [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyG Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 You need to come over to France, locate and join a clay pigeon shooting club which covers you for insurance etc as well.You need a special licence (international I think) to take guns in and out of UK - speak to your local firearms officer at Police Station. CPSA could also be a useful source of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egger Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 ok i being thick again (well i am only hairdresser) we got european licence which should cover us i think but we didnt no if we could bring them because we will only be renting for 3 months not having a perminent home.

Cassis Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hello EggerSo, it was a genuine enquiry - my faith in humankind is rewarded!The CPSA is the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association. Here's a link to their site.http://www.cpsa.co.uk/Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
