  abstract = {{O}bjectives: {A}rboviral diseases are posing an increasing burden in temperate regions. {T}his article documents the potential effects of outbreaks and epidemics caused by an arbovirus transmitted by {A}edes albopictus, across multiple domains, in mainland {F}rance, which has been minimally affected by such outbreaks so far. {M}ethods: {W}e draw on the knowledge accumulated in mainland {F}rench regions that have dealt with limited autochthonous outbreaks, and in the overseas departments and regions of {F}rance which are regularly affected by epidemics. {W}e present an original method that combines a systematic review of the literature, the analysis of qualitative data from questionnaires completed by stakeholders, and our expert input. {R}esults: {W}e identify several key vulnerabilities such as healthcare strain, economic losses, and social disruption. {O}ur analyses highlight specific risks and preparedness gaps for temperate areas. {C}onclusion: {W}e underscore the critical importance of allocating sufficient resources to vector management and of developing intersectoral policies to mitigate the effects of future epidemics across several domains.},
