Travel insurance

It is essential to take out health insurance for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred abroad (rates charged by private structures are high) and the costs of a possible repatriation. Insurance covering cancellation fees, baggage loss is also recommended. All these guarantees can be provided to you by an international insurance that will ensure effective coverage abroad and you will leave with confidence.
 

If you are registered to the French Social Security and a mutual complementary, you are likely already covered by international medical assistance. But carefully check the validity and scope of this coverage before departure (ceiling support, exclusions, and terms of repatriation...), especially if you intend to practice certain types of activities (diving, motorcycle ...). In all cases, it will be difficult to enforce your rights to Social Security out of the Schengen area, and you will be required to advance your medical expenses before getting any refund of social security in case of hospitalization. Instead, some travel insurance take care of your hospitalization expenses directly, without having to move anything.
