Question About My US Passport for Visit to France
I will be visiting Paris for the week between Christmas and the New Year, and can hardly wait. I haven't been there since 2008, and that is way too long. I just realized that my passport expires on July 13, 2016. That is 10 days more than six months from my return date of January 3, 2016. Am I still cutting it too close, or should I get an emergency reissue of my passport? Given the tragic events in Paris last month, I expect that customs will be extra careful, but I also don't want unnecessarily relinquish my current passport so close to my departure date of December 26th. Thoughts?

Looks like you need 6 months validity at entry, and 3 months beyond your departure: http://travel.state.gov/content/pass...ry/france.html

According to the French Consulate websites three months after you leave is correct. This is a link to the Vancouver consulate. For some reason the Chicago one won't link.
