Insurance

We strongly recommended that you take out a comprehensive travel insurance policy, which will include cancellation cover and full cover for your personal belongings as no such cover is provided by us. Accordingly, any such losses incurred remain your responsibility. The travel insurance policy should also cover you in the event of accident or illness, cost and cancellation by you, cost of assistance (including repatriation) and other expenses. We also recommend accidental damage insurance for all members of your party to cover against accidental or negligent damage to the Property and protect against loss in the event of a deduction from the security deposit.

Guests are also strongly advised to make sure they have health insurance cover before travelling to France. If you receive treatment at a hospital as an in-patient, the cost of the stay and associated treatment will be billed as an emergency abroad and can be extremely expensive. Therefore, travel insurance of some kind is essential, whether that is through a private company, your bank or just the EHIC/GHIC scheme.

European visitors should obtain the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), and those from outside of Europe (including visitors from the UK) should obtain the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), which enables them to get state healthcare at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. If you require a visa to visit France, proof of health insurance coverage is mandatory before you even apply.
