Francois Hollande signed a bill on Friday legalizing such nuptials.
The Constitutional Council affirmed Hollande's signing and the bill is now law. The new legislation will take effect on May 29. France becomes the 14th nation to legalize marriage equality.
Leading up to Hollande's signing, violent demonstrations for and against marriage equality rocked the country. Anti-gay protesters have another protest against marriage equality planned for May 26.
LGBT people were also routinely attacked during the weeks leading up to the votes in the French legislature.
