Is YOUR passport up-to-date?

My mother and I are going to Paris for the first time. we wanted to know if we need any shots or vaccinations before we go, or anything else besides our passports? i wasn't sure where to find out this info.

Hi Stephanie,

Good question about Shots : Innoculations : Medical Requirements

No innoculations or vaccinations are required to enter France, unless you've just been visiting an area which was suffering from an epidemic of cholera, yellow fever etc.

For more information, contact the French Consulate in your city - click here to see the list.

On my Travel Information For Paris page, I also provide information on VISA REQUIREMENTS which residents of which countries require Visas, and Visa Entry and Exit Requirements.

If you need some great tips before you travel, you might like to have a look at my Passport Guide & Travel Tips for the Savvy Traveller for Paris, France page, which covers:

* Email while travelling

* Passport - making copies

* Travellers Cheques / Checks

* Credit Cards / Identity Cards

* Online Banking

* Medical & Prescriptions

* Cellphone / Mobile phone

* House and car key tips.

Have a great trip, and do pop back and let us know what you enjoyed the most.


If you're going to be in Paris for a few days, then you might think about the 2, 4 or 6 days PARIS PASS, which gives you free entry to over 60 sights and attractions, as well as free public transport.


I wish you a wonderful journey and a great adventure!

Bon Voyage,
Teena!
