Travel within Schengen and Romania with French carte de séjour

I am not an EU citizen and I am moving to France. I received a 90 days visa saying "type C" on it with an attached but unstamped note saying that: 1) this in fact is a "D type" (long stay) visa 2) as soon as I arrive to France I need to apply for a carte de séjour, which will then replace my visa.

Questions:

Will I be able to travel within the Schengen area using this carte de séjour?
Will I be able to travel to Romania using the carte de séjour (normally possible with valid Schengen visas)?

My understanding is that the carte de séjour doesn't come with an additional visa stamped in the passport. Thus the only thing I could show to the Romanian border control is the residency card.

The carte de s\xe9jour is only valid in France. To travel around the other Schengen countries you should have with you a valid passport or national identity card.

Can I enter Schengen with Romanian residence permit?

Even though Romania has not yet joined the Schengen Area, foreigners can use a valid Schengen visa to enter the country. A multiple-entry Romania Schengen visa is valid for short stays. Schengen visas will be required by non-exempt visitors once Romania gains full Schengen membership.

Although you do not need a passport to actually cross the border, a carte de s\xe9jour will NOT be accepted as proof of identity if you are stopped or questioned by police. Nor will a driving licence. If your passport is out of date, lost or stolen, you can apply for an emergency travel document HERE.

Can you live in another European country with a French residence permit? Yes, if you have a long-term resident - EU, you can settle in another European country without applying for a visa.
