Do we need to fill in any forms to go touring in France 🇫🇷 from the uk, Thank you.
 
There a Covid form to fill in I think.
It’s on the Gov website and you fill it in 48 hrs before you come back - contact details etc etc

There definitely is entering the UK from France but I think the OP is asking about going the other way, in which case the answer is no........?at the moment!

There is a form available on the French Government website for you to declare that you have not had contact with anyone with Covid symptoms, and that you yourself do not have any covid symptoms. Whether you will be asked if to show it, I will be able to tell you in a couple of days, as I will be going through. There is also a threat apparently being discussed by the French at the moment, whether they will retaliate to the British imposition of the 14 day quarantine for travellers from Europe to the UK with a similar one for British visitors to France. This may take the form of declaring an address in France where you will quarantine for 14 days. It has yet to be decided. Since this would affect their tourist trade, I can't see what they would achieve, except a bit of yah boo, sucks to you.

The link to the sworn statement is

Reallyretired where do you find the data that France has more cases than GB ... BBC ??

France has double the daily rate of infection compared to the UK and they test less.

Whilst it isn’t a competition and I am sure it is coming our way, it is a fact that at the moment France has more current cases than the UK.

I'm guessing he meant 'new cases' France have had double or triple the number of new infections that the UK has these last couple of weeks. However, France is big so even though they have more new cases, outside of the big cities there are likely to be very few cases. Comparatively, France is pretty safe for motorhomers right now.

Thats pretty much what I meant. If we weren't waiting for a hospital appointment for swmbo we would be back there now.
 
I live in Spain I’m coming back to the uk to pick up our van then tour France then into Spain so does it matter who’s got what.
 
At the moment no forms on the way out only on the way in,but i think it will change but if youre out there before they call it youre be fine.
 
We went out to France on 5th August and returned on the 19th.

We downloaded and completed the French CV-free declaration but were not asked to show it, at Folkestone or Calais.

By the time of our return the Q-14 was in operation so we downloaded the U.K. Immigration forms and completed them on our respective iPads as we had no printing facilities available.

At Calais the U.K. Border Force asked where we had been and we told them France only. They then asked if we were aware of the quarantine requirements and had we downloaded and submitted the Immigration forms. My wife held up her iPad with the reference number sent to us on completion of her form. We were thanked and passed through. No problems, smooth and quick.

We have now completed half of the quarantine period.

We found that France felt much safer than the U.K. but we didn’t visit any cities or large towns while we were there, so cannot comment on the situation in highly populated areas.

All very confusing, it is a good thing that the infection numbers are climbing as the numbers in hospital is remaining static or lowering. Guessing as the tests increase further the "infected numbers" will continue to grow. Many are/have been infected without symptoms increasing the herd immunity theory.

Here in the Charente Maritime there have been almost no new hospital admissions for the past three months, still the cases but with none or much lower symptoms.

There are so many variables. Countries are accounting in different ways. You could be going from a low infection area (say Somerset) and going to another low or lower area (say, Gascony) as we are, or perhaps a higher risk area (say mid North) and going to a similarly rated town in France/Germany/whatever. The risks are not the same. And if you throw into the mix your own approach to Covid safety, your lifestyle, your health history etc, there are even more variables. It's not a case of just taking the R number from each country and using that to make decisions on where or when to go. As I have said elsewhere, you've got to be somewhere. You are therefore at risk. But if you take sensible precautions, your odds will be better than those who ignore them.
