Since 15 June, Iceland has been welcoming the French in Iceland. A daring gamble by the Icelandic government.

Iceland has shown its difference in Covid management with the early implementation of a tracking application for infected persons and massive Covid testing for a large part of the population. These strategies enabled the island to control the spread of the virus very quickly. This is why from mid-June travellers from the Schengen area, including France, will be welcome in Iceland.

Easier travel to Iceland from mid-June Several airlines offer flights from France-Iceland from June onwards. On the spot, the infrastructures have an efficient organisation for prevention and in case of crisis. Iceland, an ideal destination for escape


Iceland has a limited population: 350,000 inhabitants on the island. Social distancing is therefore an easily applied practice. You will then be able to travel quietly in Iceland and discover the beauty of the Icelandic landscapes, without the crowd. Indeed, until further notice, only people from the Schengen area will be able to travel to Iceland: the summer will then be without mass tourism in Iceland.
