Health & safety in France
FCO advice for France
Most visits are trouble free, however terrorism is sadly a reality of travelling in these times. France has suffered at the hands of terrorists’ activities, such as the coordinated attacks at the Stade de France and the Bataclan Theatre, as well as at cafes and restaurants in November 2015, when 130 people were killed. And then on the streets of Nice when a truck was deliberately driven into crowds in July 2016. The organisation Daesh (formerly referred to as ISIL), claimed responsibility for the attacks and a state of emergency is in place until July 2017. There have been several terrorist attacks on police and soldiers over the last few years too.The French government has launched an app to alert users about security incidents, called SAIP, or Système d’alerte et d’information des populations, in English and French. Always get up to date information at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) travel advisory department before travelling to France.

Tips from our travellers in France
We have selected some of the most useful France travel tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday - and the space inside your suitcase.


Just enjoy what the hosts have organised for you as it is all very carefully thought out. We have been independent travellers for a long time and wanted to rush around and do so many other things but were glad we let everything be taken care for us! - Tammy Railton
If you plan only to hike and do not have a car, you should be able to work with the provided maps to work out possible alternative hikes. Your hosts will also help with alternative hikes and local detail. If you bike there are even more possibilities - Katherine Layton
Go with an open mind, and don't be afraid to ask questions (however many you have) before you go - Catherine Fish


Do some hilly walks in preparation; take clothes for cool and wet, or hot and humid, or in-between weather; then just go for it, and enjoy the experience - H M Gill
We expected our young children to grumble about the hiking but in fact they exceeded all expectations and walked 5 steep miles per day for 3 days in a row. It's easy to under-estimate what your kids (and you) can do - Alison Godfrey
