French people are officially allowed to travel abroad once more. Even though the 10 and 30 km travel limit has been lifted, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg still have certain rules. Here is an overview of all you need to know!
As France is still considered to be a high risk zone, certain conditions need to be met. For one, travellers need to register on this website and have a negative test result no older than 48 hours.
Important to note also that the different states in Germany vary in terms of rules. Saarland, for instance, just announced that from 13 May onward, cross-border employees and students no longer need a negative test. The same applies to people who want to stay less than 24 hours on German territory.
The Robert Koch Institute publishes a weekly report of all countries considered as high risk areas in English.
The country no longer prohibits non-essential travels on its territory. Although it is still not recommended, French people are now officially allowed to cross the border again.
People commuting together have to wear masks. A curfew is in place between midnight and 5.00 in the morning. A negative PCR test result is only needed if travellers want to stay longer than 48 hours. In that case, people will also have to fill out a form.
A regularly updated overview of measures can be found on this website.
The borders of the Grand Duchy remain fully open. It is thus possible for French people to simply cross over, even for recreational activities. A curfew is still in place however.
Only people flying to Luxembourg will have to present a negative test result. All current measures can be found on this website.
