Milliosn of people travel from the UK to France each year
The UK Foreign Office has issued an alert as its official guidance for visiting France was updated on Friday. The government department provides advice about risks of travel to help British nationals make informed decisions.

The update, on Gov.uk, reads: “French rail network disruption. There are reports of disruption across main line train services affecting Eurostar services and domestic high speed trains in several parts of France.
“French railways state that services could be disrupted until Monday 29 July and are advising travellers to postpone travel if possible. Check with your travel operator, or railway operator’s websites, including Eurostar and SNCF Voyageurs”.
