Because you probably don’t plan your trip the way you did it yesterday, we have prepared this Q&A section. We update it regularly in accordance with national health & sanitary regulations. Latest France travel advice can be found on this website
IMPORTANT NOTE: until further notice, travel to France from the UK is only permitted for those travelling for essential reasons.
Which sanitary measures are in place in France to secure visitors’ safety?
Accommodation providers displayed on this website committed to comply with French health & sanitary regulations in order to guarantee visitors’ safety as well as theirs. Main Covid-19 measures in France include physical distance of at least 2 meters, washing hands regularly or alternatively using hydro-alcoholic gel which is on display in most places. Wearing a mask is compulsory in certain public places.
Following French government’s latest regulations, a valid health pass* is mandatory for all adult customers** since August 1, 2021 when accessing different areas (accommodations, restaurants, bars, cinemas, museums, zoo, theme parks, …)
* A certificate proving that you are fully vaccinated (with both jabs) or a negative test (RT-PCR or antigen) less than 48 hours old, or a positive RT-PCR test attesting that you’ve recovered from Covid that must be at least 11 days old and less than 6 months old. This certificate will be scanned upon your arrival.
** Children aged 12 to 17 will be exempt from these measures until September 30, 2021.
We strongly advise you to download French government’s TousAntiCovid App on which you’ll be able to scan your NHS QR code. The app will then generate a EU “health pass” or “Pass sanitaire” that you can show in restaurants, bars and all the areas where it is mandatory. All the info can be found on the Consulate General of France in Londons's website.
What are the cancellation and modification conditions of the stays?
Cancellation and modification conditions vary according to the accommodation provider. We advise you to get in touch with them directly by phone or using our booking enquiry tool available on our website in order to clarify payment, modification and cancellation conditions.
Will restaurants be open during my stay?
Terrasses are now open and welcome clients for a dring or a meal. From June the 9th indoor drinking and dining will be permitted.
How do I find a stay that meets my safety requirements and how do I make sure recommended activities are open to the public?
Accommodation providers can give you all the necessary information as they have been selected, amongst other criterias, upon their level of English. Hence do not hesitate to get in touch with them by phone or using the booking enquiry tool available on our website.
