Since, France is a EU member, if any of the European travellers or their dependants is suddenly taken ill or has an accident while visiting France, they just need to produce a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to avail free or reduced-cost treatment.
The authorities in France strongly advise full travel insurance for all travellers to the country.
Travel Advice
From time to time, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK issues Travel Advisories for visits to France. Accordingly, most visits to France are trouble-free but the global threat from international terrorism can never be ruled out. Therefore, travellers should take adequate precautions while visiting the places of interest and tourist areas of France.
At the time of publishing, this information is correct. However, the travel advice is periodically and rapidly updated. Therefore, all visitors are advised to contact the following addresses for the latest travel advice:
