On 28/10/2020 the French president took measures to reduce to a strict minimum the contacts and movements throughout the metropolitan and Martinique territories, establishing a lockdown from 30/10/2020 until 01/12/2020.
Facing a sanitary situation that continues to degrade, travel restrictions are entering into force on metropolitan and Martinique territory and non-essential trips are no longer authorized.
International drivers are allowed to drive in France but they must have a document with them to prove that it is for professional reasons.
Either use the Document called « Attestation de déplacement dérogatoire » in French or « EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE DURING LOCKDOWN » in English.
