We are thinking of taking our dog to France next June and would like to hear of comments from other memebers of how dogs are accepted in France. Are they welcome in shops and visitor attractions etc. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi keef and/or kaff
What model have you got?
Took cocker spaniel, Smudge, to France for 6 months when the Pet Passport scheme started. Couldn't believe the relaxed attitude to dogs but soon got used to it.
Have noticed more 'no dogs' signs in the last couple of years. A boulangerie that I had taken dog into for years got new owners and now it's no dogs.
Main places the French don't like dogs, particularly the allegedly fierce breeds, are beaches & schools where you may find 'no dogs' signs. As the local police see most schools in & out this is enforced. Re beaches the signs seem to be ignored 'out of season'.:thumb:
Haven't taken dog over the water for 2 years so may be a bit out of touch but looking forward to taking Lulu, another cocker, for her first trip abroad in Jan.
Have stood in a queue in a butcher's shop behind a French woman with her dog on a lead in Fismes and in Creon watched a woman wheeling her shopping trolley round the supermarket with a dog in the trolley.
They absolutely love dogs in France .If you want a vet on the way back there is one in St Omar .There is also a campsite which has a connection with the Vet .If you use the campsite you then get a discount at the Vet's www.campinglachaumiere.com:thumb:

not so long ago I read a post on an expat forum over here where the expat was eating at a restaurant and was horrified to see that the people at the next table were letting their dog lick the plates, she pointed this out to the garcon expecting him to share her disgust and horror but he just shrugged and said it's OK we wash the plates, expat was left speechless and vowing never to go to that restaurant again.
That's a good bit of information well worth noting. I know St Omer and it is convenient for all the ports so it could be the place we will stay on our final night.
