As Emmanuel Macron announced in his televised address on June 14, it is now possible to travel to Europe. However, Member States do not accept all travellers. “Why doctor” takes stock of the countries accessible to the French.
It’s official: the French can start preparing for their summer holidays. “As of tomorrow, it will again be possible to travel between European countriessaid Emmanuel Macron in his televised address on June 14. From July 1, we will be able to travel to states outside Europe, where the epidemic will be under control.”. However, not all member countries have reopened their borders yet.
Thus, if it were possible to travel to Bulgaria from 1er June, in Italy since June 3, in Croatia since June 11, and in Poland since June 13, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Greece welcome tourists from all over Europe from June 15. For its part, Austria is reopening its doors to the whole continent from June 16. On the other hand, it will be necessary to wait until the 21st to go to Spain and the 1er July to travel to Portugal.
Norway, Denmark and Malta remain closed to French people
In addition, certain destinations remain out of reach of the French, like Norway, which reopens its borders on June 15, but only to other Nordic countries – except Sweden. Same principle for Denmark, where only Germans, Norwegians and Icelanders are allowed, for the moment. In Malta, air links with around 20 countries will resume on 1er July, but France is not one of them.
Finally, while Romania has not yet communicated a date for the reopening of its borders, those of Great Britain and Sweden were “technically” remained open throughout the health crisis. It is also possible to travel to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but the situation could change. Indeed, the three countries have set a threshold of cases per 100,000 inhabitants not to be crossed so that nationals of European countries can enter their territory.
