passes - "Le pass sanitaire" and masks
Update for
2025.
As of late 2025, there are no restrictions on visitors
arriving in France from
other countries.
Facemasks may be required for entry to
hospitals
and care homes, but no longer for entry into France.
Facemasks may be recommended for vulnerable people, the elderly and
people suffering from immune deficiencies
Take care: Covid is not over.
The French health authorities recommend that senior citizens (over 65s)
and other vulnerable categories keep their covid vaccinations up to
date, particularly during the winter and early spring. While the
predominant Covid variants active in 2024 and 2025 have been less
serious than
earlier variants, new mutations occur all the time, and the possibility
that a new and more virulent strain of Covid will emerge at some point
in time cannot be ruled out. The strain emerging in autumn 2025 is
reported to be more infectious and aggressive than other recent strains
