The 90 days in every 180 days rule

The UK, has been added to the list of visa-exempt countries by the EU.  This means that UK citizens will be limited to visiting France for up to 90 days within any 180-day period without needing a visa. 

The 180-day clock would start when you first enter France  or any other  Schengen state  as of  2021 as a non-EU citizen, with each subsequent departure and entry recorded and counted at border controls (your passport will need to be stamped as you enter an eu country, make sure you get this done.). Once you have been away from France or Europe for a full 90 days  you will be allowed a new stay of up to 90 days, once you have used up your allowance you will not be permitted to enter another Schengen country without a visa. so basically its 90 days in Europe, 90 days back in the UK, before another 90 days is allowed back in Europe.

So 3 months(90 days) is how long you can stay in France after Brexit

So basically you can stay for 3 months (90 days) in any 6 month (180 days) period as a general rule. For longer stays you will need to have a visa. 90 days/3 months should be enough for most people holidaying or touring France or Europe. Staying in a holiday home over winter could be a problem though.

French Border controls and how long you can stay in France after Brexit

It is up to you to make sure you get your passport stamped when you enter and leave a country. You could find yourself in trouble and overstaying if you cannot show a date stamp in your passport.

Those who remain UK residents  but own a French holiday home will therefore need to take extra care when planning a trip to France  or anywhere in the E.U.  to avoid illegally overstaying  and  potentially being denied re-entry.

 You may be required to answer questions at the border about the duration and purpose of your visit. It could be that if you do overstay then penalties may occur or future entry to France and Europe is denied or restricted.

For stays over 90 days or the right to work in France as a non-EU national, you would need to apply in advance for a visa.
