French Official Tells Tourists to Treat Themselves With Trip to France as Country Reopens
On 6/9/21 at 12:01 PM EDT
France is opening back up, much to the delight of businesses catering to the tourism industry, along with restaurants, cafes and gyms allowed to resume indoor service on Wednesday in the latest reopening steps.
Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, France s tourism minister, told would-be travelers on Wednesday to Treat yourself, reserve now. Americans and other tourists from most countries outside Europe must show proof of vaccination against the coronavirus.
France is only accepting the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, which means tourism from the lucrative markets of China and Russia, which use vaccines not approved by the European Medicines Agency, will not return immediately.
All EU nations are green, as well as seven other countries, including Australia and New Zealand.
The UK, US, Middle East and most of the rest of the world are classified as “orange” – but vaccinated travellers from those destinations still need a negative PCR test to enter. Those who haven’t been inoculated against Covid-19 can only enter for valid reasons and must self-isolate upon arrival for a week.
Red-zone countries include Brazil, India and South Africa and severe restrictions remain in place.
France only recognises the vaccination status of travellers inoculated with those shots approved by the EU – Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
France announced its intention to open to international travelers from 9 June using a traffic light system: here s what travelers need to know about who can visit and how.
