<\/p>\nA SERIES of threats in France has resulted in the evacuation of airports and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n
It comes just days before thousands of Brits are expected to travel to Paris this weekend to watch the Rugby World Cup Semi-final against South Africa.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Here is everything you need to know about travelling to France right now.<\/p>\n
The threat level in France was raised following a school attack last week which left one person dead.<\/p>\n
The UK Foreign Office states: "Following a fatal attack in Arras, northern France\u00a0on 13 October 2023, France has raised its national threat level to the highest level (\u2018Emergency Attack Level\u2019). <\/p>\n
"This threat level is described as \u2018maximum vigilance and protection in the event of an imminent threat of a terrorist act or in the immediate aftermath of an attack\u2019."<\/p>\n
And earlier today, 10 airports were evacuated after a series of bomb threats.<\/p>\n Lille, Lyon, Nice, Nantes, Paris Beauvais Till\u00e9 and Toulouse were all forced to close this morning<\/span>.<\/p>\n Similar threats at the\u00a0Palace of Versailles\u00a0on Tuesday resulted in the evacuation of the tourist attraction.<\/p>\n Paris' Louvre Museum was\u00a0also\u00a0evacuated after a threatening message\u00a0last Saturday.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n France has recently banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations.<\/p>\n The UK government does not advise against travelling to France.<\/p>\n While France has raised their threat level to the highest, holidays can still go ahead in the country.<\/p>\n Brits who try to cancel their holidays or flights will be left out of pocket, and will not be covered by travel insurance.<\/p>\n This will only change if the UK government advises against travel to France.<\/p>\n Brits can travel to France without the need for a visa, although you will need at least three months left on your passport.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24437851-1697624451868.jpg\")
