France's Macron denies reports of visas for UK travellers

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday dismissed media reports that France was preparing to impose visas on British travellers in case of a no-deal Brexit.

"It's fake news, as some other leaders would say," Macron told reporters at an EU summit. "We will not start visas."

Several British newspapers said earlier this week that French contingency measures in case of a no-deal could lead to the introduction of visas for UK travellers.
