Millions of people travel to France from the UK each year

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has updated its guidance for anyone planning to travel to France.

The government department regularly provides advice for people planning to visit any of 226 nations and territories, and on Friday, June 7, it warned of "disruption" expected in France in the coming weeks. A new alert reads: "Throughout June, planned industrial action by port worker and air traffic control unions is expected to disrupt some ferry routes and flights across France, with some routes and flights diverted or cancelled.READ MORE: Emmerdale fans 'not happy' as ITV soap bosses share four word updateIt adds that industrial action could cause further disruption on the Paris public transport system until September.

More than 15 million visitors are expected to travel to Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics, which will take place from July 26 to August 11. The FCDO also reminds travellers that they should purchase insurance before departing, and that France is subject to updated passport rules, following Brexit. Anyone travelling with a "British citizen" passport must have at least three months remaining on the document after the day you plan to leave France.
