France eases COVID travel restrictions for people arriving from UK

This move is a major boost for cross-Channel transport operators and winter sports travel firms - with the French government having imposed a ban on British tourists in December last year to control the spread of the Omicron variant.

Still requires a covid test 24 hours prior to entering.

Good news for those wanting to pass through France to get to other more welcoming countries.

Non-vaccinated travellers will still need a compelling reason to enter France, and must still isolate for 10 days upon arrival.

[Kups]

Too late we've cancelled our trip. I'll wait until the end of Feb before going to France, perhaps their infection rates will have reduced significantly by then.

I still can't think of a compelling reason to visit France.

The place is full of virus.

Maybe to watch a decent game of rugby with an away win (29th March) ?

There will still be a lot gagging at the bit to go.

Yes. I suspect that stance may be taken by more countries too.

 

[Jenka]

When it suits them they call and like lambs they go ! More cases than UK .

I support that. If people want to have a choice then they need to be prepared to deal with the consequences.

France is 3 times the size of UK
81% of French live in cities

Seems a simple answer as to how to significantly decrease your chances of catching covid to me

just choose carefully where you park

 

[WillH]

I'm watching this carefully, we will go but not while the infection rate is so high. Our son and his family live in Paris so it's difficult to avoid lots of people and the grandchildren go to the local school so they have a lot of contact with others.

 

[TizzyOnTour]

I agree. As a route through to Spain, keeping ourselves to ourselves, it is likely to be as safe as anywhere.

Just on our way back, via France.
Stuck to motorways and toll roads so contact with French people is negligible.
Dogs at the vets tonight and ferry booked for Sat morning.
No problems so far.
