Don't get caught out by rising pollen levels

YOU can keep ahead of pollen levels in France thanks to the Réseau National de Surveillance Aérobiologique (RNSA) website.

One feature of the RNSA website that could prove particularly useful is a weekly email service that allows you to choose up to three départements and get updates to your inbox about pollen level risks.

And the pollen levels of individual towns and cities can also be checked, they can be found to the right hand side of the page, with an estimate of forthcoming pollen levels plotted on time graphs.
