 France is frequently exposed to small-scale natural disasters such as floods, draught, midwinter windstorms, forest fires, earthquakes, cyclones, hurricanes and avalanches. This has increased demand for cover against natural disasters, and insurers operating in the country are particularly dependent on reinsurance to mitigate risk related to floods.

 Reinsurers in France are active in offshore markets in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. 

 Solvency II came into force in France on January 1, 2016.
