According to the French Government Website https://www.gouvernement.fr/infocoronavirus/deplacement
As we enter a new phase of the pandemic, the health check system at borders has been lifted.
Consequently, as of 1 August 2022, the rules previously applied to travellers arriving into France are no longer enforced.
- Travellers no longer have any formalities to complete before arriving into mainland or overseas France, and the COVID certificate can no longer be requested, irrespective of the country or area of origin;
- Proof of a compelling reason for travel can no longer be requested;
- Travellers no longer need to present a sworn declaration that they are not infected with COVID-19 and pledge to take an antigen test or biological exam upon arrival into France.
This also applies to travel between mainland France and each of the overseas territories.
Similarly, the French authorities no longer require proof of a compelling reason for travel or a certificate of international travel from mainland or overseas France to another country.
However, there may be certain specific formalities to be completed in order to travel to foreign countries. We therefore kindly invite you to check the health rules requirements of your country of destination.

SAFETY + WELL-BEING
We continue to monitor developments closely and comply with all recommendations from local health authorities & CDC.
As a result, restaurant services and schedules and other services may be modified to comply with the rules of physical distance. Upon arrival, you will be asked to use the hydroalcoholic gel that will be offered to you. Our employees will wear masks. In accordance with the recommendations of medical experts and good practices in the sector, all guests (from 10 years old) will be required to wear a mask or face protection in the hotel's public indoor areas (reception, restaurants, bars, spa, gym), in the vehicle during transfers or when they receive room services. Masks are highly recommended for children 2 to 9 years old.
On the other hand, the rooms as well as the public spaces are cleaned in the utmost respect for the French regulations in force (use of virucid products validated by L'ARS)
Improved cleanliness:
- The hotel has appointed hygiene officers focused on implementing improvements to already rigorous procedures
- Rooms are disinfected daily with EPA-approved products and before each nebulization arrival
- Targeted re-training programs for housekeeping teams on all cleaning protocols are implemented
- Public areas regularly cleaned with special attention to busy areas, including reception counters and public washrooms
Increased customer safety and comfort:
- Lead with care kits placed in each guest room providing masks, hand sanitizers and sanitation wipes, with additional masks provided on demand
- Social distance measures integrated into all customer protection services, including fitness equipment as well as beach equipment properly spaced and individually equipped with disinfection wipes
- Restaurants and bars can operate with reduced capacity to provide adequate space and a socially remote configuration
- Almost all restaurants offering a la carte service with digital menus where possible
- From January 7, all restaurants will have max table capacity of 6 people; night clubs and danse activities are closed on the island. A curfew is instaured from 12pm to 6am.
Paperless:
Not only is this move better for the environment and supports our sustainability efforts, but it is also helping to avoid unnecessary high-touch surfaces to prevent Covid-19.
