COVID-19 has affected travel immensely and the way we travel is changing dramatically. Every now and again, travel warnings from all over the world are changing their travel warnings. To understand how it will impact your travels to France, here’s what we know about it. We will continue to update this post as we get news from the government for you to better have a timeline in planning your trip to Paris in the future.
Is France open for tourism?
France has banned all essential travel for all foreign visitors outside the European Union and Schengen region from January 31, 2021. This month, they lifted the ban to select countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea with the condition of presenting a negative COVID PCR test valid 72 hours from arrival. All visitors entering France must also self-isolate for 7 days. To see the full list of countries allowed to enter France, click here.
In October 2020, France have reopened cafes and restaurants, bars, public transportation, and some museums. Like many other countries, they are doing this slowly. However, that was put on a pause when 19 regions in France (including Paris) implemented lockdown and restrictions until further notice. Currently, there is a nationwide curfew in France from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am. Restaurants, bars, cafes, and museums are closed. The borders of France are closed but internal travel is not restricted. France is also now requiring the use of FFP1 or more protective FFP2 filtering respirators or fabric masks that meet “Category 1” which are also called medical-grade face masks.
