France to reopen borders for EU countries

The Prime Minister of France has announced on Twitter that the country will begin reopening to tourists starting on June 15th: ” Inside Europe, the pandemic is slowing down: France will be in favor of reopening the internal borders of Europe from June 15 if the health situation allows, with no 14 day quarantine for travelers from European countries.

Travelers within Europe will be able to visit France without any quarantine or restrictions starting on June 15th. However, travelers arriving from the UK or Spain are still subject to a 14 self-quarantine, which France introduced as a reciprocal measure for those countries’ quarantines.

France’s borders will remain closed to all countries outside of the European Union. The lifting of those restrictions will be a matter for discussion among European countries, the PM added.

Countries that will be permitted to visit France without a 14 day quarantine starting on June 15th: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden.
