France is particularly good for healthy activite summer and winter sports holidays, with the added enjoyment of tasting French cuisine and wines, in the relaxed ambience of 'the French way of doing things'. France has reciprocal healthcare arrangements with the UK. Travel insurance is needed, as not all costs are covered. When using doctors or dentists 'conventionne', within the French health system, or receiving hospital out-patient treatment in France, a signed statement of treatment (feuille de soins) is provided to claim a refund of usually about 70% of costs from the local Sickness Insurance Office (CPAM). For in-patient treatment in France, an EHIC is needed, and the CPAM pay 75% of costs to the hospital direct; for the balance of costs you need travel insurance.
