License 4: definition

Licence 4: What is it and why is it essential?

Licence 4, officially known as the "4th category on-trade license" or "grande licence", is much more than just an administrative document.

This is the permit you need to serve alcoholic beverages from the 5 groups (including hard liquor) in your establishment.

Without it, your business would be limited to the sale of non-alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks (provided you have a licence 3), which would considerably reduce your potential and attractiveness.

We've got the right license for you!

Transfer: the definition

What is a License 4 Transfer?

License 4 transfer involves moving an existing license from one establishment to another within the same département, or under special conditions, from an adjacent département.

It is the only way to obtain a license 4, as they are no longer created.

This process, though legal, is fraught with pitfalls and requires in-depth knowledge of local legislation and specificities (town halls and prefectures in particular).

Regulations

Article L.3332-11: The Guardian of the Temple

Article L.3332-11 of the French Public Health Code is the reference text governing license 4 transfers. It defines the strict conditions to be met, in particular:

  • The minimum distance between the old and new facilities.
  • The opinion of the mayor of the host municipality, who may oppose the transfer if he considers that there are already enough drinking establishments on his territory or that there is a risk of disturbance to public order.
  • The opinion of the mayor of the commune of departure, who may oppose the transfer if he considers that the departure would be detrimental to his commune.
  • Compliance of the new facility with prefectoral decrees in force in the département concerned.
