From late June to early August each year, Provence sees its prime lavender-watching period, with southern France gearing up for the peak tourist season. The consulate highlights key precautions for visitors:
First, prioritize traffic safety. For self-driving tours, ensure valid Chinese driving licenses and notarized translations are carried, and purchase comprehensive traffic insurance. Familiarize yourselves with local road conditions and traffic rules in advance. All passengers, including those in the back seat, must wear seatbelts; avoid speeding or drunk driving.
Second, guard against theft and robbery. Stay alert to local security situations and avoid high-risk areas. Refrain from carrying large sums of cash or exposing valuables. Never leave items in parked vehicles to prevent break-ins. In case of theft or robbery, call the police immediately. Keep photocopies of passports and visas separate from the originals, and contact the consulate for travel document replacement if passports are lost.
Third, maintain physical health. With intense summer sunshine in southern France, take precautions against heatstroke and sunburn. Exercise caution when choosing tourist activities—avoid reckless adventures, especially near water. For high-risk or strenuous activities, it is recommended to be accompanied by family members.
Fourth, observe civilized behavior and laws. Act as the primary (primary responsible person) for your own overseas safety. Comply with French laws, respect local customs, and avoid loud noises in public. Maintain humility and courtesy in interactions with others.
The consulate advises tourists to stay vigilant, take preventive measures, and contact the consular emergency hotline (+33-491320267) for assistance when needed.
