Hi Campers.

We are getting ready to travel over on Thursday,what's the situation like ie blockades fuel and best way to travel.I was thinking of just going down to Le Crotay and sitting out for a few days unless you know better.

Thanks John.

We have been in France for over a week and have not seen or been affected by any industrial action. We have not had any difficulty getting fuel.

We have travelled (slowly) from Calais via Eurodisney, and are now near Dax on the Aquitaine region.

Best diesel price so far is 1.19 Euro per litre.

Just keep rank above 1/2 and enjoy your break

Hi thanks for that we are out for three months so will head south at our ease unless the weather gets bad then bolt for Spain.I will fill up this side to be safe and refill on half tank on the other side.

Regards John.

I might think about avoiding Catalonia for a while!

Have been traveling up through france the last few days not had a problem with fuel ,all automatic fill up any ways .
But looking at the news (France 24 ,English) Catalonia as @Riverbankannie say could be a place to avoid ,I went to go through to Tortosa old town it was blocked off with a rally/protest
I recon it could get worse that way soon imo

Been in France for 5 weeks, at present at Voutré near Mayenne, not seen any problems but if there are any they will be in Northern F I would think!

We had no problems last weekend travelling down to Spain through France fuel was €1.21at Cité Europe, cheaper in Spain so fill up after crossing.
Cheers

(Earlier this year the Crotoy aire card payment machine was not working, so coins were required €7 if I remember rightly)

Just spent a week in France, travelling from Colmar via Disneyland, Amiens, and Calais, returning yesterday morning via Dunkirk. I wasn't aware that there were any problems, although I did notice one or two autoroute signs flashing up messages about unavailable fuel types. Not many though, and not all the same fuel type.

Been bumbling around northern france. Now in the middle of our second week. All seems normal. Wasn't aware of anything going on until I read this.

Been in France then Belgium then Netherlands and now back in France, for past 7 weeks now, and not noticed a single problem at all anywhere.
Neither has anyone we've spoken to.

Spent the last few weeks in Northern Spain and travelled all the way up through France to Calais last Sunday. No problem with getting fuel anywhere and no hint of trouble.

John, we spent Saturday night at le Crotoy, you won't need to sit it out, there is nothing to show. Just go and enjoy your holiday. We always fill up where we can and never run more than half empty anyway. Weather wasn't that good though..
