From 13 August 2020, the FCDO now advise against all non-essential travel to France.
With travel insurance for France, you can return to your favourite spots across the Channel and embrace those sunny beaches, all while knowing you’re protected with tailored travel insurance.
Even though the FCDO have advised against all but essential travel to France, if you feel it’s safe for you to go, our European FCDO Travel Advice Extension can offer you a level of cover while you’re away.
With FCDO guidance changing so often, you need to check their travel advice before you travel and while you’re away. If you travel against FCDO advice and don’t have our European FCDO Travel Advice Extension, you won’t be covered if you need to claim.
If the FCDO say it’s safe for you to travel, our travel insurance that covers coronavirus can give you extra peace of mind. Our COVID-19 cover is included in all new policies at no extra cost.

When you’re off to France, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Tailor your policy to suit your needs. Not all holidays are created equal, so whether you’re hopping over to Paris for a weekend, or planning an epic worldwide tour, you’ll want to tailor your policy to cover you properly.
Before you take out a policy with us, it’s worth thinking about the areas where you might need to upgrade your level of cover.
Some upgrades can be made any time before your departure (as long as you haven’t claimed), subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.
Please note that while we can increase your cover, we can't reduce coverage later in return for a partial refund.
It's a requirement of our travel insurance to take a GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) or EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) with you when travelling to France. But remember a GHIC or EHIC is a compliment to travel insurance, not a substitute for it.
The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to free or reduced cost health care in the state health providers in France.
But remember, neither a GHIC or EHIC will cover you for non-medical related mishaps on your trip, and won't cover you if you need to be flown home. Only travel insurance can provide you with that peace of mind.
If you use your GHIC or EHIC when abroad, we will waive your travel insurance excess if you need to make a medical claim (this could amount to £100 per person on a Basic Travel Insurance policy and £65 per person for Comprehensive Travel Insurance policies).
You must tell us as soon as possible. We can usually increase your coverage for an additional premium.
Please do let us know about any changes to your circumstances in advance and make any necessary adjustments to your policy, otherwise it will not cover you when you need it.
If you’re planning a winter sports holiday while you’re in France, it’s important that you’re covered with Winter Sports Travel Insurance.
Winter sports cover can be added to your Single Trip Travel Insurance Comprehensive policy for an additional premium. Or, if you prefer an annual policy, winter sports cover is automatically included for 21 consecutive days when you choose a Comprehensive policy.
Winter sports travel insurance can cover you for winter sports equipment hire, piste closures and avalanches or landslides. To find out more, take a look at our Winter Sports Travel Insurance page.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.
