I'm under 21 and will be travelling to France from the UK in a few days. Do I need a visa to enter France? If yes, do I need to go to the French embassy in London? If no, what travel documents ...
I know Boulogne sur Mer and Wimereaux well, but I would like to visit different parts of the departement. I was told that St Omer is quite interesting? Do you know any hidden gems in the area?...

Is Belgique apart of France?
If so, do you mind posting a website with more valuable information about it.
-- Belgium (capital : Brussels) and France (capital : Paris) are two independent countries.
-- Belgium and France have partly a common frontier. Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have also frontier with Belgium.
-- People in Southern Belgium and in Brussels speak French (They are the so-called Walloons) while Flemish (= Dutch) is spoken in the northern part of the country. German is spoken in the Eastern part. Flemish-speaking population is the majority.
-- Belgium is a founding member of the European Union and hosts its headquarters. It hosts also several other major international organizations, including NATO.

Non ma belle!
Belgique ('Belgium', in English) is its own country. They do however share a border in the northeast. Also both countries have French as their national language I believe!
