#2026-319G7 Evian 2026: Security clearance rules for access to event sites
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree makes the Evian G7 summit a “major event” and sets which sites in Haute-Savoie will be subject to security screening for anyone entering them for reasons other than being a spectator. That includes several venues in Evian-les-Bains, Neuvecelle, and Publier, such as the Palais des festivités, the Palais Lumière, the Stade Camille Fournier, the Evian Resort hotels, and sports and community facilities. For businesses, event staff, contractors, hotel operators, and service providers, the practical effect is clear: access to these sites will require the administrative review process tied to France’s internal security code. Organizers must send requests by 17 June 2026 at midnight, and the Interior Minister is the decision-maker for the clearance opinion.
