The EHIC also covers any treatment you need for a chronic disease or pre-existing illness. But treatment may not be completely cost-free, you may have to make a contribution.

What kind of medical help are you likely to get then?

Also, what type of creepy crawlies do you in rural aries between Britanny and Normandy?

Can you bring your own car for 3-6 months and drive it in France without registering?
