Health insurance in France

Why take international health insurance when travelling or living in France? Simply because health spending quickly reaches very high amounts abroad. On the other hand, health insurance is compulsory in France as part of the Schengen Visa application. In addition, the repatriation guarantee is an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident, medical repatriation is sometimes necessary to the nearest medical centre or to the country of residence. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident, and depending on the medical prognosis, it may be necessary to charter a helicopter or medical aircraft.
