Article L313-1 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

Any foreign national who declares that he or she wishes to stay in France for a period not exceeding three months as part of a family or private visit must present proof of accommodation in the form of a reception certificate, signed by the person who proposes to provide accommodation for the foreign national, or his or her legal representative. This certificate is validated by the administrative authority, and constitutes the document provided for in the Schengen Convention signed on 19 June 1990 to justify the conditions of residence in the case of a family or private visit.
