France’s national curfew was pushed back two hours this week and is now in place between 21:00 and 06:00.

The exemption form (attestation de déplacement) that people need to complete if they need to go out during these hours has been updated.

You can find the form on – in French or English – or through the track and trace phone application Tous Anti Covid.

There are still six permitted reasons for going out during the curfew:

  • Professional reasons: Travel between your home and place of work, education or training; business travel that cannot be postponed; travel to participate in tasks of general interest at the request of an administrative authority
  • Health: Travel for consultations, examinations or check-ups; travel for vaccinations; travel for care or treatment that cannot be provided remotely; travel to purchase medication or products relating to health
  • Compelling family reasons: Giving assistance to vulnerable people, the elderly or children; travel to assist people with disabilities
  • Judicial or administrative summons
  • Long-distance travel: Going to airports, train stations, bus stations as part of a long-distance journey
  • Pets: Short walks with pets, within a maximum of one kilometre from your home
  • France’s national curfew is due to be pushed back again on June 9 to 23:00. The government plans to remove it entirely on June 30.
