Hi
I am travelling from South Africa to Paris. Will I be allowed to bring vacuum packed dried meat/biltong into Paris, France

Madeline, France is part of the EU, which has common rules for this. And the answer is no, you cannot import meat into the EU without documentation.
The official EU website with the rules is here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/meat-dairy-animal/index_en.htm
Quote:
If you are arriving in the EU, from a country not mentioned above, you may not bring with you any meat or dairy products without official veterinary documentation. This is to prevent serious animal diseases from being brought into the EU.
