British passport holders enter France visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling period under Schengen rules. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. UK passports are stamped on entry and exit since Brexit. ID cards are no longer accepted for UK nationals.
No supporting documents are mandatory, but border officers can ask for proof of accommodation, onward travel, and sufficient funds (EUR 65 per day if staying in a hotel, EUR 32.50 per day if staying with a host, per the French consular tariff). The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen countries. French overseas territories (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion, French Guiana, Mayotte) have separate entry conditions. ETIAS pre-travel authorization (EUR 7, valid 3 years) is expected to become mandatory in late 2026.

France uses the euro. No vaccination requirements. UK driving licenses are valid for short visits. The Eurostar and Le Shuttle (car train) from Folkestone clear both UK and French immigration at the UK terminal before departure, so passport checks happen on the British side.
