On May 17, 2013 France became the 9th European country and the 14th country in the world to allow gay marriage. Only few days after the legalization, the first same-sex marriage was celebrated in the southern city of Montpellier.
The number of homosexual marriages reached a record number of more than 10,000 unions in 2014. Only a year after the legalization of same-sex marriage, the enthusiasm of couples who were not previously allowed to marry each other was still high. In 2023, approximatively 7,000 same-sex marriages were celebrated.
