Just have to wait and see . We have no étranger plates here and haven’t had for as long as I can remember ie last year lolMaybe we won't be as welcome as i thought then
Situation is somewhat different than last year but still time to goAllegedly we weren't welcome last year either.

Not at all . Would love things to be back as they were but unfortunately they are not but who knows in a couple of monthsBut the stories seem similar.
Pitchfork wielding natives
We arent allowed out for a couple of monthsNot at all . Would love things to be back as they were but unfortunately they are not but who knows in a couple of months
Remember as things are at the moment you are bringing little to the economy except as my neighbours say more virus anglais . But let’s see how the next couple if months work out .
I can only tell you how my neighbours and friends feel including those in my motorhome club .
I know that’s why I said who knows what will happen by then . I’d love to have a coffee or a wine out and a meal lol But guess that is the cost of keeping the schools open and businessWe arent allowed out for a couple of months
Maybe the Spanish government will have the virus under control by then but not sure. We're not going to any EU country until January 2022 partially in protest at their appalling attitude to the UK and partially because of their pathetic vaccination programme.We are desperate to escape to Spain.
..can't wait until it's the time to (go put the fridge on)
Have to wait until school holidays end of July and see if we're allowed......or I'm going to need to see the doctor for depression
Thats 72,000 into Parisian ICU beds in the last 10 days.Within the last 10 days, there was one admission to intensive care for COVID every 12 seconds in Paris,

As a matter of interest, are your friends and neighbours generally resistant to, or accepting of vaccination?I can only tell you how my neighbours and friends feel including those in my motorhome club .
If you ring them nearer the date they should. I was told to do this, which I did, and they have given me a voucher to use for the full amount. I have a year to use it and then a year to change it. Do try.We would like to use our Eurotunnel crossing and go to France. We paid £440 return last July and then due to Corvid we were unable to use it. It runs out on the 12th of July so its not looking likely as my wife is now back at work and does not finish until the 8th. (We may get chance one way) I emailed them in December but they won't extend it.
I have no neighbours or friends who don’t want the vaccination . Madeleine my oldest neighbour who is over 80 says she feels more calm now she has been ‘done ‘ lolAs a matter of interest, are your friends and neighbours generally resistant to, or accepting of vaccination?
It seems to me that an enormous amount of damage has been done to the rollout and public trust of the vaccine (particularly OAZ) and therefore the chances of the French coming out of the current situation more quickly - largely as a result of ill-informed and seemingly incorrect information from French politicians. It seems baffling to me, and I'm sure that there are all sorts of political and economic agendas which I'm not able to fathom. The position being taken regarding the OAZ seems to me to be damaging to French public health, and therefore (selfishly) my chances of getting over there sooner rather than later.
We're desperate to get over to recommence our house hunt!
Your neck of the woods and environs.Hopefully you will get over to restart your house hunting . Do you have a particular area in mind . We have never regretted moving here .

Can't find the original quote from M. Castex [IIRC it was in Saturday's Politics Live Blog which was merged with the Coronavirus Live Blog. But, as of today, France has 4,426 ICU cases, and its ICU system is sad to be at saturation point. Possible that M. Castex passed on a short burst admission surge, or seconds were transposed with minutesThats 72,000 into Parisian ICU beds in the last 10 days.
I suspect something has been misquoted
Good choice lol Let us know if you need any helpYour neck of the woods and environs.
It was the "every 12 seconds someone entering a Parisian ICU" that I picked up on which worked out to be 72,000 new cases in ICU in the past 10 days.Can't find the original quote from M. Castex [IIRC it was in Saturday's Politics Live Blog which was merged with the Coronavirus Live Blog. But, as of today, France has 4,426 ICU cases, and its ICU system is sad to be at saturation point. Possible that M. Castex passed on a short burst admission surge, or seconds were transposed with minutes
M. Castex's latest statement was posted in the Guardian Politics Live Blog at noon today:
'France is set to announce new coronavirus restrictions, including a potential lockdown in the Paris region and in the north of the country, as the number of Covid patients in intensive care units rises.
AP reports:
Prime minister Jean Castex is scheduled to detail the restrictions this evening. “We will make the decisions we need to make,” president Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday while visiting the hospital of Poissy and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, west of Paris. He added the new measures will be “pragmatic, proportionated and targeted”.
The virus is rapidly spreading in the Paris region, where the rate of infection has reached over 420 per 100,000 inhabitants and ICUs are close to saturation. France’s nationwide infection rate is about 250 per 100,000.
As during previous infection peaks, health authorities have organised transfers of critically ill patients to less-affected regions to ease some of the pressure on hospitals in Paris and in northern and southern France. People in France have been under a 6pm to 6am nationwide curfew for two months.

I think I’ll be in the 94% that are immune but I probably look at things differently to those that think they’ll be in the 6% that don’t develop immunity.Also need to remember just because you have had the vaccine does not mean you are immune and we should all remember that, sadly i think a lot of people won't and behave just like they did before, but we won't be joining them
remember Bournemouth last year, and that was without the vaccine?

There'll be an other eminent scientist along shortly with an opposing view!Can't find the article at the moment but I read one this morning quoting an eminent scientist stating no one should be allowed to travel abroad this year in view of lack of vaccinations abroad. I will post it if I can find it.
We had the warmest welcome ever last June , genuinely pleased to see usAllegedly we weren't welcome last year either.
Completely different reality when you get there
Hopefully by mid May you will be again but after tonights info from Jean Castex. North and bottom corner of France in serious lockdown for 4 weeks so lets hope it works as the situation is very different from last June .We had the warmest welcome ever last June , genuinely pleased to see us
