New advice has been issued for people planning to travel to France from the UK.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), who has issued new guidance for people travelling to France, provides guidance about risks of travel to any of 226 nations and territories in a bid to help people make informed decisions and stay safe. On Thursday evening, the FCDO issued a new alert to anyone with plans to visit France.

It comes as roads in the nation have been blocked in a series of protests.

French farmers also dumped produce as they demand urgent action on low farmgate prices, green regulation and free-trade policies. Reuters reports that farmers have said their demonstrations will continue as long as their demands are not met.

The new FCDO alert on Gov.uk reads: "Protests by farmers have taken place across France. Since January, action has included blocking roads and delaying traffic.

"Monitor the media, avoid protests, expect delays on some major roads and follow the advice of the authorities."

French intelligence services have warned the government that regional farming unions have called on their members to converge on the capital, Le Parisien newspaper and BFM TV said.
