Little chance of a French holiday this summer I'm afraid. The French Government have just announced today ( 2 May) that their state of emergency will continue until 24 July and that anyone entering from another country must undergo 14 days quarentine. If you take a look at La Provence online you can read the original article ( in French) .

We came through Carjarc in the Lot on Sunday and there is a new Aire not far from the local campsite and it was jammed full only got 7/8 parking spots and there was 14 Motorhomes on it even one area with four parked in a square formation and all had the windout canopies out looked very cramped for our liking in the current situation, we also drove pass another campsite in Larnagol next to the Lot river and the grass has been mowed but no water in the pools yet also it is up for sale around 600.000 euros if anybody is interested it has been up for sale for about 5 years now we think a little overpriced also we would not go there again unless it has a change of owners.

Small consolation, but Cath has just added up the cost of last year's 6 week expedition to France: one week to get to Cote d'azur; 2x2 weeks stay at two sites; one week to get back.
Black horse £20
Ferry inc Club lounge £177
Dartford Xing £5
Fuel £397
Campsite fees £840
Peage £343
Travel Ins £118
One meal out £33
Grand Total £1,935
It was worth every centime! Think of what we've saved by staying at home sheilding

Having learned that most of the borders on the Continent will be opened by 15th June and being on the other side of the Channel already, we've decided to take the plunge and leave for France later this month. The campsite that we want to stay at was opened the day before yesterday, but of course at the moment only for residents of France.
