I am considering entering in to a PACs (The Pact Civil de Solidarité) with my French partner. I am trying to find out information about the benefits of doing it, I know that I would qualify for free healthcare in France and also that it frees both of us from inheritance tax and that we are treated as living together as a married couple for income tax purposes but I believe there are other social security benefits associated? Would I for example accrue a French state pension, be entitled to maternity and family benefits as a result of being PACSed even if I myself am not working in France?
I would appreciate any information on this.
