We've been here for a week, now in Languedoc. Haven't seen any evidence of fuel shortage traveling via Troyes and Lyon.

Apart from the weekend when it all started, we haven't seen any shortages. The panic buying and social media doom and gloom merchants seem to cause the problems.
Just been to the Super U at Oradour sur Vayres and filled up at €1.155. We travelled from Tours to La Rochelle and now at Parc Verger, not seen any closed stations or queues.

Back at Gravellines now, ready for our return home through the tunnel today.
We've travelled up from Narbonne area via the A75, round the east and north of Paris via Reims and Lille.
We still have an almost full tank and haven't seen any problems on the way. We just topped up as we stopped for food and didn't let the tank get below half full.
We are back home today but would ask those still in France to keep reporting the situation where they are as a good service to our fellow travelers.

Richard.

We have come from tunnel to currently at Millau, via Chartres, Moulins. No sign of any shortages at all though have filled up more frequently than usual just in case.
Price is up though around 1.15 supermarkets up to 1.30 on motorways. Don't know about toll roads as we haven't used any.

We're off in the morning Gravelines tomorrow night then decided to follow the coast of France through Normandy Brittany down towards Biarittz using aires all the way. Then into Spain tour the Picos before heading South to visit friends in Alicante.
Will report on fuel but not expecting any problems.
