Marriage vs PACS

In today's episode we talk about the different kinds of unions you can agree to get with your significant other, if you are looking for legal or spiritual recognition of your relationship. Legal marriage, religious marriage, and PACs (Civil Partnership) all exist in France, but are they all recognized by the state? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Do each one of these unions hold equal rights for everyone?
