All minors of French nationality, enven babies, must possess a personal ID (passport or national identity card depending on the destination).
Minors must have a passport in their name. Children cannot travel using a parent’s passport.
Foreign nationals must show a passport. A residence permit will not suffice.
This document will be requested for check-in and boarding even for babies or children.
TRAVEL IDENTITY DOCUMENTS
Depending on the country you are visiting, you will need to bring an ID card or passport. In some cases a visa is also required. It is your responsibility to ensure the validity of these documents and also to renew them if necessary. Please be aware some countries require that your passport be valid for several months after your return date of your return.
