Children traveling alone: an escort service is provided by the SNCF and Air France

At the SNCF

Since 19 June 2020, the service has gradually resumed on all destinations, with some adjustments and sanitary measures:

• care for children aged 6 to 14 years (this was from 4 years before the outbreak);
• compulsory wearing of masks from the age of 11;
• change in the price of the package depending on the duration of the journey (€35 for a journey of less than 2 hours 30 minutes, €46 for a journey of up to 5 hours and €54 beyond).

At Air France

Unaccompanied children (or UM for

Unaccompanied Minors

) can again be accommodated on board aircraft from 1^er June 2020. However, measures have been put in place to safeguard their health and safety:

• the child must be at least 8 years of age (the company usually offers its service to children over 4 years of age for trips to mainland France and over 5 years of age for trips to overseas territories);
• masks are mandatory for children aged 11 and over, and are strongly recommended for those aged 8 to 11;
• the number of children traveling alone is set at 6 per flight, so that staff can respect the health rules for each child throughout the journey;
• the flight must not include a connection because the child care rooms are closed;
• the price applied is close to the standard adult price.
