Embassies are usually less reliable than Timatic, because the latter regularly gets notified by the immigration authorities of updates

For a problem like this one which must be pretty common it should be pretty easy to find the solution through an ambassy.

But even easier through Timatic. And like I wrote, where there is no border control (as is the case between France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland) the airline has the final say. And airlines do not care about what an embassy says - they go by Timatic, full stop

And I assure you, non-Schengen EU countries will accept an expired French ID. It says so in Timatic and it's really not up to the countries (within the EU) to decide. Within the EU/EFTA,a valid EU ID (even if it "looks" expired) is valid, full stop

>I am worried however that my expired national ID will not be accepted during my trip. To me that doesn't indicate specifically that the trip will be done by plane. For problems like this I have always contacted ambassies, it cost me a phone call and was not that hard. If Vince prefers Timatic it is to his appreciation.
