You don´t need a visa as per Part 1) of the following post:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=95372

You are qualified as per

Definitions

For the purposes of this Directive:
(...)

a registered partnership, on the basis of the legislation
of a Member State, if the legislation of the host Member
State treats registered partnerships as equivalent to

down in the relevant legislation of the host Member
State;

You only need both passports and the Residence Card (if not in the passport).

You can print the relevant laws (follow the links in the post).

I suggest also to bring a recording device in case you would want evidence for compensation.

>>This thread<< explains how this mode of travel works in general, and it also contains a >>practical guide<< on how to be able to use this law.

If you want to be really 100% sure, you would still need to get a visa.
