HOW TO RETURN TO FRANCE ?

From Madrid: All those who wish to go to France can do so without any problem if it is before December 23. From December 23 to January 6, the exit from the Community of Madrid must be justified. With a French identity card, this can often be sufficient.

From Valencia: The Valencia region is closed except on December 23, 24, 25, 31 and January¹ when travel to other regions is allowed if justified. With a French identity card, this can often be sufficient.

From the Canary Islands: The Canary Islands region is closed for people arriving in the island but not for leaving. So there is no problem to go to France.
