- corin_ 11y agoThat's by design not mistake. Within the Schengen Area borders are pretty much left open. Even flying you might be asked for ID by the airline but won't be by border control. If you drive from France to, say, Belgium, you'll just drive past a "Welcome to Belgium" sign.

- tdkl 11y ago> Within the Schengen Area borders Well, it's the same AT the Schengen border these days. It's not a border, it's a joke if anyone can go past it.
