The Foreign Office has updated its guidance for anyone planning to travel to France in the coming months.
The Government department regularly amends its advice for people travelling abroad and on Tuesday, July 25, a new alert was issued for people planning to visit France in September or October of this year.
It comes ahead of the Rugby World Cup, which will be hosted in cities such as Bordeaux, Lille, and Nice from Friday, September 8, to Saturday, October 28.

A Gov.uk update reads: "If you are travelling to attend the tournament:
- check your passport validity
- buy travel insurance
- make sure your EHIC or GHIC is in date, or apply for one
- see Entry Requirements and Health for more information
- Sign up to receive email alerts when this page is updated."
The Foreign Office also suggests people get "appropriate travel insurance and check it covers all your activities and places you intend to visit", and adds: "Check when your passport expires. In most European countries it must be valid for 3 months after you leave that country".
