Important remarks
- Modification of entry requirements in the city of PARIS: according to instructions from the French authorities, from 7/18 to 9/8 and on the occasion of the celebration of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, the entry requirements are modified to certain areas of Paris. During this period, a digital pass in QR form will be needed to access any of the restricted areas that coincide with the surroundings of the different Olympic venues. The areas and days with restrictions will be updated by local authorities on the platform created https://www.pass-jeux.gouv.fr/en/ where you can also obtain the QR. Among the information required to obtain it, there is a copy of the DNI, photograph and proof of the reason for the request (for example, hotel reservation within the restriction perimeter).
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
