When setting up Address Validation by Country, it is recommended that no address validation be set up for France. This is because there is an inherent issue with the way that France validates its addresses, where the validation returns the address on Line 3 of the address, and needs to be manually moved to Address Line 1 for the AVS of PayPal to correctly charge the card. Setting the address validation for France to NONE will retain the address on Line 1 when entered. If French addresses were previously entered with the address validation set up, they will need to be manually updated.
