France

Travelling in France does not generally result in a donation deferral.

Between 1.7–30.11, a stay of more than 20 hours in the southern areas of the country will result in a donation deferral of 28 days. The donation deferral applies to the La Rochelle-Grenoble line and from there due east to the Italian border. The restriction also applies to the cities of La Rochelle and Grenoble.

The donation deferral is due to a seasonal epidemic of the West Nile virus, and the deferral will begin from the date of return to Finland.
