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.
There’s no advice from the FCDO against travel to France, so if you feel it’s safe for you to go, you may want our European FCDO Travel Advice Extension to offer you a level of cover in case advice changes before your trip starts. We covered 74% of our customers for less than £5!*
With FCDO guidance changing so often, you need to check 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.

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.
To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered. This could be one or two depending on your age.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine, then you won’t be covered.
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.

If the country you are in or travelling to changes from Green to Amber and you want to cancel or cut your trip short, any costs incurred or elements of the trip that are lost will not be covered by our policy. You should contact your airline, tour operator, accommodation provider, or other carriers to enquire about refunds, or about changing your travel plans.
