Can you photograph and publish people in public in France?

French law recognizes a right to your own image (droit à l'image). You need permission to publish a photo of a person who is isolated and recognizable, even in a public place. Group and street scenes where no one is singled out are generally exempt.

Publishing includes social media posts and YouTube streams. Photos of minors typically need parental authorization.
