Travel insurance for a France trip through Orly splits cleanly by passport. EU and UK travellers carrying an EHIC or GHIC card get access to France's state healthcare system on local terms - genuinely useful, though it is not free-everything: French care runs on co-payments, and the card covers neither private treatment nor repatriation. Travellers from Schengen-visa nationalities face a hard rule instead: visa applications require medical travel insurance with at least 30,000 euros of coverage valid across the Schengen area - no policy, no visa. Everyone else, and everyone wanting proper protection, should carry a standard travel policy: French healthcare is excellent, but emergency dentistry, private clinics, cancellation and lost-bag risks all sit outside the state system. Verify current entry and insurance rules against official sources before travel.
