Keep your passport and belongings secured! Your passport is your only valid ID and it is important you carry it with you at all times. Keep an eye your possessions or leave them with someone you trust It’s always better to let friends or family know where you are going and give them your contact details, insurance details, and your itinerary … wouldn’t want your mum to worry, would you? Now, travel insurance. You might be thinking “Ha, what a waste of money”… until it comes in handy! It can cost less than £10, whereas a medical repatriation could cost £10,000…. Check if it covers all your activities to enjoy a “5 star” festival experience. The good news is that your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will cover most emergency? medical fees in France should you find yourself in hospital. The EHIC is free and easy to apply for! (www.ehic.com) Getting to know local laws and customs can really help you have a great time… and keep you away from trouble. Plus, you get to impress your friends when mingling with locals! Did you know that it is forbidden to drink alcohol in beautiful Parisian parks? And so is walking around in some cities in a bikini top? Well, now you do! Walking on the wild side is quite tempting, but don’t put yourself at risk: any involvement with drugs is taken very seriously in France and a little too much to drink can have bigger consequences. Why ruin this awesome trip you’re planning? A festival is a great place to meet new people, but it’s wise to stick with people you know and trust. A solitary trip? Impressive! Keep your personal safety in mind when socialising with new people and set boundaries from the start. ATM access may not be easy so make sure you have enough cash and have access to emergency funds. Police, fireman, ambulance… do I really need to bother with this right now? YES. Just write the numbers in your phone or on a piece of paper. You might not remember them on the spot: 17 for the police, 18 for the fire services and 15 for an ambulance (SAMU). Hint: call 112 for emergency services in any EU country.
