Was it illegal for women to wear trousers in France?

In France, it was technically illegal for women to wear trousers until 2013, due to a law enacted in 1800 that required women to obtain permission from police to dress in masculine clothing. However, this law was rarely enforced and was more of a historical artifact than an active regulation. In practical terms, women have been wearing trousers freely for many decades, and the law was effectively rendered obsolete before its official repeal.
