French Riviera animal shelters and rescue centres (refuges)
To adopt an animal from a shelter (refuge) take proof of identity and proof of address (a recent utility bill such as electricity or telephone bill). All shelters charge an adoption fee and most allow a one-month trial period during which you may return the animal and be refunded if the rehoming has not worked out.
English is not spoken at most of these animal shelters.
