The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has tightened the travel advice for France from green, the lowest level, to yellow. On March 22 this year, the French government raised the threat assessment. This happened in response to the terrorist attack by IS in a concert hall in Moscow. The threat of terrorism is assessed as ‘likely’. The alert level in France has been raised from 2 to 3. According to the French government, the increased risks mainly apply to larger cities. With alert phase 3, the French government is deploying more security measures to protect citizens. “You can travel to France, but be extra alert throughout France,” the ministry said.
