France — Legal Help

Nordic model since 2016 — buying criminalised. Fines starting EUR 1,500 first offence. Workers face no penalty. Belgium and Spain are short train rides for legal alternatives.

Embassies & consular help

If you are detained, ask police to notify your embassy — they can provide a lawyer list and consular visits, but cannot pay fees or intervene in the case.

Locations from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), verified 2026-07-23. Confirm the emergency number on your embassy's official site before travelling.
