Schengen Visa to NON-EEA Family member

Hi There
I'm an EU citizen planning a visit to France, and wondered whether my wife (NON-EEA national), would need a Schengen. According to my checks it seems that if we travel together and she has residence permit/card in her passport, then no visa is needed.
Can someone please confirm?

She should be fine since both of you are travelling together, just gather your marriage certificate and you guys should be fine nice journey.

What does your wife hold a residence card or a permit? If the former, no visa required.
