Have a look at this link, which I think will answer your question. However if you do not intend to reside with your boyfriend (you stated you had a return ticket), reunification may not be a possibility.

Thank you for the information. Btw we wanted to join my boyfriend . I had return tickets for the reason it was adviced by alawyer that familie reunification will be hard for us like we have no legal documents as proof. I dont know how the directive order for familie reunification i france is implemented . Im very confused like as i read ..as partner of a eu national i should have derved right to reside in a country which the eu national is living. And as thurd country national i would only need an entry visa to join my boyfriend.. i just dont get why they deny my visa application knowing my boyfriend is en national and my daughter too as a minor for her to travel and as her mother i just dont get why they denied a visa. Its not like its my first time . Last year we also went on vacation in the netherlands and application went well. But like my boyfriend is noy in Francr ots logic we musf lodge my application in French embassy.. anyway thanks for the information
