Information bulletin
Beware of rabies: prevention for travelers and animals
Automatically translated from French ·

Imported cases of rabies are regularly detected in France. Before traveling abroad, have your animal vaccinated and check that it has the required health documents. Do not bring an animal back from a country where rabies is present.
Rabies is a fatal disease once symptoms appear, in both animals and humans. Isolated cases are regularly detected in France, imported from countries where the disease is still circulating.
Before traveling abroad:
- Have your pet vaccinated
- Ensure it has the necessary health documents
- Contact your veterinarian at least 4 months before departure
During your trip:
- Do not touch any stray animals
- In case of a bite, scratch, or licking of a wound, immediately contact local health authorities
- Do not bring an animal back from a country where rabies is present
Prevention posters remind people that even a healthy animal can be infected abroad, and emphasize the ban on bringing animals from countries affected by rabies.
