There is some risk to your security due to an ongoing threat of terrorist activity and we advise caution.
Specific threats have been made against French interests by the terrorist group Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. There have also been sporadic attacks against the French state from separatist groups in Corsica. You are advised to exercise caution, particularly in public places and around major tourist sites.
New Zealanders in France are advised to be security conscious at all times and monitor the local media for any information on potential threats to safety. We advise you to follow any advice issued by the local authorities and avoid all demonstrations, protests and rallies as they may have the potential to turn violent.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in France should have comprehensive medical and travel insurance policies in place.
New Zealanders travelling or resident in France are encouraged to record/update their details online.
