From real experience

ruleThe process of converting a student residence permit (VLS-TS) to a family-based residence permit in France after a PACS (Pacte civil de solidarité) typically requires two years of cohabitation.

The application for the new residence permit ('titre de séjour') can be submitted through the prefecture, with potential variations in submission methods (e.g., by mail, via online platform ANEF) depending on the specific prefecture.
