France will ease the restrictions on international travel .
The ministry said in a statement that travellers to or from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Israel, Japan, Britain and Singapore would no longer need a compelling reason to travel.
French Tourism Minister Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne said this easing was due to the improving health situation in those countries.
All other restrictions, such as a requirement for a negative Covid-19 test less than 72 hours before travel, would remain in place, the ministry said, adding a decree was due to be published on Friday.
