The regulations, which came into force on February 15th, will be strictly enforced starting September 15th. Passengers found exceeding the luggage allowance will face a €50 fine.
Here’s a breakdown of what the new rules entail:

This change is intended to streamline travel and create a more enjoyable experience for all passengers. By familiarizing yourself with the new guidelines, you can avoid unexpected penalties and ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey across France.
