I have all the relevant documentation ready: have lived in France (originally South African), own a home and cars - all paid up, all taxes up to date, but need to take a linguistic test... where do I go, or where do I apply.

Your help will be much appreciated (I am 57 years old) - Thank you

You can apply to become a naturalised French citizen if you have:

have been living in France for five continuous years (less under certain circumstances, such as having studied in a French university for two years, contributing to the "radiance" of France, or possessing an "exceptional course of integration" in civic action, science, economics, culture or sports, in which case it's two years);
can prove that you have integrated into the French community by speaking French and having a knowledge of French culture and society and the rights and duties of French citizens.

Thank you, am aware of all that, submitted all documents, but hit the "snag" with a linguistic test

AND how do I "prove " that I have integrated into society. My mayor was kind enough to write me a letter on that behalf?

You need to follow the instructions outlined here > https://www.service-public.fr/particuli … oits/F2213

Hello, were you able to find the information? In case you haven’t...
Here’s a link to all the approved test centres in France. They will administer the test and provide the necessary documentation.
