France will lift its travel ban on UK holidaymakers from Friday morning provided they are fully vaccinated, the country’s tourism minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne has announced.

France has banned all non-essential travel from the UK since Dec. 18 in a bid to limit the spread of the Omicron variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
