PARIS—People traveling to France from countries where the COVID-19 risk is rated “orange,” such as Britain and the United States, will have to be vaccinated and show a recent negative test result, European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune said on Friday.

Under new rules set to take effect from June 9, people coming from orange countries who have not been vaccinated will need to prove they have an imperative reason to travel to France—such as a legal case or child care—and will also have to show a recent negative COVID-19 test, Beaune said.
