When travelling to France, what documents do you need to bring with you.

Also, do you need to bring the original documents or only copies.

Thanks

Hi You will also need your travel insurance docs and E111 for your health cover and european breakdown cover docs if applicable. If your car is a company car you also need a leeter from your employers giving you permission to use the car as the V5 is not in your name. Hope this helps.

Pretty sure you don't need a E111. Could be wrong though.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

It doesn;t exist, its an EHIC for past 10 years or so! You would be silly not to have one with you in case you were taken ill. Travel insurance may not fully cover you if you don't have your EHIC card to use in first place
