This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Travel Summary and the Safety and Security - Terrorism section (there is a general threat from terrorism). The overall level of the advice has not changed; there are no travel restrictions in place in this travel advice for France.
(see travel advice legal disclaimer)
There is a general threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate. You should remain vigilant in public places including on public transport.
There have been a number of explosions, failed explosions and other attacks in recent years in Corsica. Government buildings, restaurants, police vehicles, bars, a discotheque and a number of holiday homes have been targeted and, in some cases, substantially damaged. In the main these buildings were closed or unoccupied at the time of the attacks, but there have been fatalities. The authorities, who have previously warned that attacks might escalate, believe that the Corsican nationalist group, the FLNC, are responsible. See our Terrorism Abroad page.
Safety and Security - Crime
Take precautions against street and car crime. Avoid having your passports, credit cards and valuables in the same place.
Guard your baggage against theft and beware of pickpockets at all times. Thieves and pickpockets operate on the Paris underground and R E R lines. There have been several victims of serious assault recently on the R E R line B, which serves Charles de Gaulle airport, Orly airport and Gare du Nord.
Alcohol and drugs can lead to you being less alert, less in control and less aware of your environment. If you are going to drink, know your limit. Remember that drinks served in bars overseas are often stronger than those in the UK.

Visitors to the event should be alert to picket pockets operating in the streets and in the underground. For further information visit the Lille Tourist Office website.
Advice on driving outside the UK can be obtained from motoring organisations such as the AA and RAC.
Information on road safety and potential traffic black spots (in French only) is available on the French government website.
To drive in France you must be 18 years old and have a valid UK driving licence, insurance and vehicle documents. Failure to comply may lead to a fine and/or your vehicle being impounded. You are not permitted to drive at 17 even if you hold a valid licence. If you do not own the vehicle you are driving, you should obtain written permission from the registered owner.
It is compulsory to carry a warning triangle and reflective jacket. The reflective jacket must be stored inside the vehicle itself. Non-compliance is a fineable offence.
Driving regulations in France are different from those in the UK. Speeding can result in heavy, on the spot fines and potentially immediate confiscation of your vehicle and licence.
In 2009 there were 4,273 road deaths in France (source: DfT). This equates to 6.6 road deaths per 100,000 of population compared to the UK average of 3.8 road deaths per 100,000 of population in 2009. Many drivers undertake long journeys in, or through, France. Care should be taken to plan journeys and take regular breaks.
In-car radar detectors are illegal in France whether in use or not. If caught with one, you are liable to fines and/or, confiscation of the device and the vehicle.

Fires can be a regular occurrence in forested areas anywhere during the summer months but especially along the Mediterranean coast and on Corsica. It is not uncommon for fires to be started by cigarettes thrown from cars or by the illegal lighting of campfires or barbecues. The fires are generally extinguished quickly and efficiently by experienced fire fighters, though short-term evacuations are sometimes necessary. Most visits to forested areas should remain trouble-free, but if you plan to stay in such an area you should familiarise yourself on arrival with local regulations as lighting fires in most forested areas is illegal and severe penalties exist for any infringement. You should also familiarise yourself with local emergency procedures in the event of fire.
Natural Disasters - Avalanches

Exercise due care and attention and observe all written notices and warning instructions and, where and when appropriate, consider carrying avalanche search equipment.

Natural Disasters - Sports activities and winter sports
Conditions on roads in mountainous areas can quickly become difficult in winter. You should carry supplies such as water, food, warm clothing and medicines in your vehicle.

For sports activities such as skiing, potholing and mountaineering, and for sports classed as dangerous (off-piste skiing or snow-boarding, mountain biking, etc) travel insurance must include mountain rescue services and helicopter costs. Be aware of weather forecasts and conditions and make sure you are well equipped. Never undertake the activity alone and consider hiring a guide Always leave copies of your itinerary and plans with someone.
If you intend to go hill walking in any part of France including Corsica, you should ensure that you are well prepared and equipped to cope both with the terrain, high temperatures and a lack of shade in summer and low temperatures during the winter months.
