Water damage to passport

Im taking the megabus to Paris next month. The only problem is that my passport has got a tiny bit wet.

There is no damage apart from the fact that it appears that the water has rubbed off the entire departure stamp from Singapore and has rubbed off a bit of the corner of the arrival stamp from my visit to Singapore.

Would this be a problem when entering France? You have to look hard to find the water damage as it is only on 1 page of the passport. As I have said above, the damage is only that 1 of my departure stamps has entirely vanished and the corner of 1 entry stamp is slightly rubbed off.

    If that's all it is 99% they'll only look at the 'picture page' so prob,
    but remember to use a cool wash next time.

    I'll add that you'll be fine too.

    My previous passport was in a right state, so bad it didn't even have any of the gold writing on the front. Just looked like a blank passport.

    Pages were worn away and ripped and the photo page was falling apart.

    Worst I ever got was a few minutes longer than usual inspection probably somewhere in the Middle East.

    Nothing at all to worry about. Have a fab time, I love Paris :p
