What are the legal drinking age and driving age in France?
16 is the legal age for drinking strong liquor on premises. It is not customary to request identification, unless the person is manifestly of inappropriate age. It is, however, a crime to sell alcohol to a minor under 16.[5] It is illegal for someone under the age of 16 to be at a bar without an adult, even if drinking a non-alcoholic drink. While legal driving age is 18 years old.
