The Carte Vitale is a French Health Insurance card that allows its holders to benefit from reimbursed healthcare services. It is issued to anyone affiliated with a Health Insurance scheme in France, whether they are French or foreign. The Carte Vitale is valid for the duration of the affiliation with Health Insurance and must be regularly updated. If you are traveling abroad, check that your Carte Vitale covers healthcare abroad. If not, you must take out additional travel insurance for overseas. In case of any issues with your Carte Vitale, it is recommended to contact the Health Insurance authority for assistance and to verify its validity.
