The information provided by the MIJE concerning border crossings is valid only for French nationals who are members of the European Union or the European Economic Area on the date of signature of the Contract.
For further information, we also advise you to consult the following websites: www.cimed.org, www.pasteur.fr, for health issues, and www.diplomatie.gouv.fr, for security issues.
Other nationals should contact their embassy or consulate for administrative or health formalities.
Clients must be responsible for checking and ensuring compliance with all the formalities indicated before departure (passport generally valid for 6 months after the date of return from the trip, visa, health certificate, etc.) and throughout the trip, including the completion of customs formalities in countries regulating the export of objects.
We strongly advise our Customer to register on the Arianne website: https://pastel.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fildariane/dyn/public/login.html.

Please note:
Since 1st January 2014, the French authorities have decided to extend the period of validity of the CNI (national identity card) by 5 years (N.B.: this extension of validity is only valid for adults, excluding minors).
However, in order to avoid any difficulties with the country of destination, the MIJE recommend that you use a valid passport rather than an NIC with an expired validity date, or that you redo your NIC. Indeed, some destination countries do not recognise this extension measure, notwithstanding the official certificate that may be issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is imperative that the name (marital name, customary name) appearing on the passport or identity document is identical to the name under which the order was placed and the transport and residence documents issued.
The completion of formalities remains, in any case, the responsibility of the Client and cannot give rise to reimbursement by MIJE.
Non-compliance with the formalities, the impossibility for the Client and/or Participants to present administrative documents in order, for whatever reason, leading to a delay, the refusal to allow the Client and/or Participants to board or the prohibition to enter foreign territory, remains the responsibility of the Client who retains the costs incurred without the right to reimbursement or cancellation of the stay by MIJE.

For trips involving minors, it is up to the parents to comply with the instructions given to them directly or via the school. Family booklets are not identity documents. According to French legislation, for all destinations requiring a passport, a minor, whatever his age, must now have his own identity document (CNI or passport under the conditions specified by the MIJE) with a photograph. Minors travelling without the presence of the holder of parental authority must carry the authorisation to leave the territory (AST) with their own identity document accompanied by a copy of the valid identity document of the signatory of the AST and possibly a copy of the livret de famille (family record book) in the case of different names.

Each Participant must be autonomous and his/her state of health must be compatible with the activities planned during his/her stay and the accommodation facilities. For school children, special diets or special medical conditions compatible with the planned stay must be notified to MIJE upon registration.

For any information concerning the health risks that may be present in the country (or countries) of destination, and the countries of stopover and transit and the Client’s journey, as well as the recommendations issued by the authorities in this respect, we also advise you to consult the following websites: www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs; www.sante-sports.gouv.fr; www.invs.sante.fr; www.who.int

– Air and sea :

Air tickets: The conditions of transport are recalled at the same time as the tickets are issued. All timetables are given as an indication as soon as they are available and can be modified, even after confirmation at the initiative of the company. Any seat not used on the outward or return journey will not be refunded.

According to some companies, any unused outward ticket may lead to a price readjustment.

Given the increase in air traffic, events beyond the control of MIJE (strikes, technical incidents, air delays) may occur and are governed in particular by European Regulation No. 261/2004 of 11 February 2004 on denied boarding, cancellations and long flight delays, the limitations of which may benefit MIJE. In addition, a change of airport can take place in any city. A technical or additional stopover may be scheduled by the airline company without MIJE having the time to inform the Customers.

A list of three carriers will be communicated in the prior information by section in accordance with the provisions of articles R.21115 and following of the Tourism Code. Confirmation of the identity of the actual airline will be communicated to the Client when the Contract is issued as soon as it is known, and confirmed at the latest 8 days before departure. A change in the identity of the carrier may take place before departure and the Client will be informed of this at the latest at check-in or boarding in the event of a stopover without check-in.

Due to the commercial partnership agreements existing between certain airlines (“code sharing”), the Customer may be required to travel on a different airline from the one initially planned.

As the timetables are indicative, as well as the airports of departure and arrival, civil aviation, airlines and airports may have to modify the dates, times and conditions of boarding. The same applies to stopovers and flight plans. The prices and seats granted at the time of booking by the airlines are guaranteed subject to programme changes which may occur at any time (change of day of operation or capacity or exceptional fare element: exchange rate, increase in the cost of fuel) in accordance with the provisions of Article IV PRICE REVISION above; these alternatives are often : either the transfer of seats on the first available flight at the same price; or the transfer of seats on the flight chosen by the Customer, subject to availability with possible price changes; or the cancellation of tickets without charge by the Company or by the Customer, if neither of the two preceding solutions is found. The Customer must respect the sequential order of the coupons purchased and any unused seats on the outward or return journey cannot be reimbursed.

As soon as they are known and in good time before the start of the journey or stay, the departure and arrival times will be communicated to the Client by MIJE.

On the first day, departure can take place at any time of the day and sometimes even in the evening. The same applies to the return journey and the last day. Under no circumstances can the costs linked to an early or late arrival or departure time be taken into account by MIJE nor can they be taken into account to justify a possible cancellation without charge. Changes in flight schedules may result in a slight modification of the length of the stay. This does not give rise to compensation if the MIJE can respect the programme and visits initially planned.

In accordance with EC Regulation n°1107/2006, the Customer with a disability or reduced mobility requiring special attention due to his/her physical or intellectual condition or age must inform MIJE prior to Reservation, and no later than 48 hours before the published departure time of the flight. MIJE and the Air Carrier may advise against or refuse the Reservation of a journey including air transport to a Customer with a disability or reduced mobility, if safety requirements or the configuration of the aircraft make such transport impossible. MIJE or the air carrier may also require the Customer to be accompanied by a person capable of providing assistance. Cancellation and modification fees: Cancellation or modification of a Reservation entails costs. The Client will be reimbursed in accordance with the airline’s general terms and conditions of sale. When the ticket is no longer valid and has not given rise to transport, the Client is informed that in accordance with article L.113-8 of the Consumer Code :

• the request for reimbursement of airport taxes may be made by any means, in particular online;
• the refund of taxes only will be made no later than thirty days from the date of receipt of the request.
• reimbursement may not give rise to the invoicing of costs exceeding 20% of the amount reimbursed. It is free of charge when the application is submitted online.

Luggage: In the event of loss, late delivery or damage to luggage, the Customer is invited to make a written declaration to the airline company concerned as soon as he/she arrives, and no later than 7 days (damage) and 21 days (delay) from the day on which the luggage should have been delivered, with copies of all relevant supporting documents (airline tickets, luggage registration label, replacement or repair estimates, etc.).

In these cases, the airline is liable for proven damage under the Warsaw Convention of 1 October 1929 or the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which contains limitations of liability.

Liability: The liability of MIJE cannot replace that of French or foreign carriers providing transport or transfer of passengers and luggage. Under no circumstances can the MIJE be held liable due to circumstances of force majeure, due to third parties not involved in the provision of Services or due to poor execution for circumstances attributable to the Client.

The MIJE draw your attention to the fact that the liability of air and sea carriers is most often limited by the national or international law applicable to them, in particular the International Conventions of Warsaw of 12 October 1929 or Montreal of 28 May 1999, and Athens of 13 December 1974 as amended relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea, or by their own conditions of carriage which you will have accepted prior to any order, and which may limit or exonerate the liability of the MIJE in accordance with the provisions of article L. 211-16 of the Tourism Code.

The MIJE cannot be held responsible for the confiscation during security checks of objects considered as dangerous. In the event of excess luggage, the Traveller may have to pay a tax that varies according to the company and the route. Should a Traveller be refused boarding of his/her excess luggage, this will under no circumstances give rise to any compensation whatsoever from MIJE.

– Rail :

Rail transport services are offered either as part of a tourist package or on their own. The MIJE cannot guarantee the allocation of seats or berths by transport companies, in France or abroad. The rail transport services are provided exclusively by the rail carrier under its sole responsibility. The conditions of performance of the transport are governed by the conditions of the rail carrier. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to comply with the rail carrier’s instructions.

The pre- and post-transportation (plane or train), sold by MIJE, are dependent on the timetables of the companies carrying out the transport. In general, the MIJE take care to provide sufficient connection time to reach the place of stay. Pre and post routing cannot be taken out less than 30 days before departure. MIJE declines all responsibility in the event of delay or cancellation of pre- and post-transport organised by the Client, and in particular if the Client misses his/her departure. However, MIJE advises to pay attention to connection times and the refundable/exchangeable nature of the transport tickets.

• MIJE Youth Hostels; By virtue of the provisions of Article L. 211-3 of the Tourism Code, the provisions of the said Code relating to the sale of travel and stays are not applicable to accommodation in youth hostels of which MIJE is the direct operator.
• Youth hostels, youth centres, hotels abroad and in the provinces For certain destinations, the establishment may request the payment of a cash deposit which is returned at the end of the stay if no deterioration is noted. The MIJE will inform the Customer at the time of registration.
• Host families MIJE takes care to select host families according to criteria of seriousness that are constantly checked. The Participants must make efforts to integrate into their host family and comply with community life and the customs of the country and the host family. If a Participant should jeopardise the organisation of the trip by his/her behaviour in the family reported to the accompanying person by the local organiser, MIJE reserves the right to end the stay and repatriate the Participant early at his/her own expense or at the expense of the legal guardian of the minor. For stays with host families, Participants are accommodated in small groups of 2 to 4 students (5 exceptionally) per family. Withdrawals from host families may occur and changes in the allocation of accommodation may be made up to the day of arrival. The host families will welcome the students on the first day and will show them the way to their meeting point. The meeting point is usually 10 to 20 minutes away on foot or by public transport in large cities. On the following days they will go alone (unless otherwise specified in the Contract). When the group uses a coach, the coach will make a daily pick-up and drop-off. The duration of the pick-up and the number of meeting points will vary according to the location.

In accordance with article L. 211-11 of the Tourism Code, the Client may assign the Contract to a third party (excluding the insurance contract, by informing the MIJE by any means allowing acknowledgement of receipt, no later than 7 days before the date of the start of the trip, indicating precisely the name and address of the assignee and the Participant in the trip.

The transferor and the transferee will be jointly and severally liable for the payment of any balance of the price as well as any additional costs incurred by this transfer.

In the case of air transport, if the ticket is issued, it will not be exchangeable or refundable by the airlines and therefore the transfer of the Contract may be considered as a cancellation generating the costs provided for in these GTC.

The MIJE are automatically responsible for the execution of the Services and can exonerate themselves from all or part of this responsibility by providing proof that the damage is attributable either to the Client, to the Participants, or to a third party, and is of an unforeseeable or unavoidable nature, or to exceptional and unavoidable circumstances, in accordance with article L211-16 of the Tourism Code.

The information collected from the Client is recorded in a computerised file by MIJE in order to record and confirm the Reservations and execute the Services. The processing of the Client’s and Participants’ personal data is necessary for the execution of these GCS. The data is kept only for the aforementioned purposes and archived beyond that in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

MIJE is likely to transmit this data to third parties, in particular to Partners, to ensure the proper execution of the Services. They undertake not to resell or transfer this data to third parties outside the framework of the execution of the Services.

In accordance with the French Data Protection Act and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 applicable as from 25 May 2018, the Client and Participants may exercise their rights of access, rectification, deletion of data, limitation of processing, opposition and the right to portability of data with the MIJE at the following address MIJE – 13 boulevard Beaumarchais – 75004 Paris.

They may also submit any complaint relating to the processing of their personal data to the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (3 Place de Fontenoy, 75007 Paris; https://www.cnil.fr/).

The Client authorises the MIJE to use his/her email address to send him/her a newsletter (information letter), news, promotional offers, an invitation to complete an online satisfaction questionnaire following his/her stay.

The MIJE are responsible for the proper execution of all the Services and provide assistance to the Client if he is in difficulty, and in particular provide him with useful information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance and help him to make long-distance communications, in accordance with article L211-17-1 of the French Tourism Code.

If one of the Services is not performed in accordance with the Contract, MIJE will remedy the non-compliance, unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate costs, in which case the Client may ask MIJE to reduce the price.

The Client is obliged to notify MIJE as soon as possible of any non-compliance which it discovers during the performance of the Agreement. Failure to report a non-conformity on the spot may have an influence on the amount of any damages or price reduction due (if any), in particular in the event that immediate reporting would have prevented or reduced the Client’s damage. In order to be admissible, any claim must be made in writing to our correspondent on site or directly to the MIJE within 30 days following the return, by registered mail for rapid processing to the following address: 13 boulevard Beaumarchais 75004 PARIS; failing this, the claim will not be treated as a priority.

After having contacted our quality department and in the absence of a satisfactory response within 60 days, the Customer may contact the Tourism and Travel Mediator free of charge, whose contact details and methods of contact are available at: www.mtv.travel.

Les Voyageurs peuvent résoudre le Contrat sans payer de frais de résolution lorsque les services ne sont pas exécutés conformément au Contrat, que cela perturbe considérablement l’exécution du voyage et que le prestataire de services ne remédie pas au problème. Les Voyageurs ont aussi droit à une réduction de prix et/ou à un dédommagement en cas d’inexécution ou de mauvaise exécution du service de voyage. Le prestataire de services ou le détaillant doit apporter une aide si le Voyageur est en difficulté. Si le prestataire de services ou le détaillant devient insolvable, les montants versés seront remboursés. Les MIJE ont souscrit une protection contre l’insolvabilité auprès de l’UNAT (8 rue César Franck – 75015 PARIS). Les Voyageurs peuvent prendre contact avec cet organisme si des services leur sont refusés en raison de l’insolvabilité des MIJE. [Site internet sur lequel on peut consulter le code du tourisme :
