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) .
Posted on 23/05/2020 10:24 by rich 81If quarantine is in place to control the spread i would fully understand and i wouldn't be going. I wouldn't expect France to put it in place just because we have it in place like a tit for tat response. I hope by the date we go quarantine will be over in the UK and we start getting back to normal

We have friends who are hoping to come back here from the UK on 31st of this month as their house is their main house not a second home as 1 of them had to fly back to UK just before lockdown and been unable to get back and the car was stuck at Toulouse Airport car park and a friend has managed to get it back out of there for them.
OH has been sending all relevant paperwork they need to come back hopefully.
Another friend had an email from a site north of the Lot to say we will be open from 15th June if they are interested in staying there this year.
We have seen a lot of Motorhomes about and 1 was from the Nimes area that is more than 100km from here also another one was pitched next to the river Lot and fishing again not local but they may have a second home in the area.
One of our friends run a b&b and had a lady ring the other afternoon asking if they had a room for the night as she was walking the GR65 route and they said sorry we are closed and not taking any bookings until 1st August at present but will see what happens after 2nd June but have not got any guests until 14th July and a family group for all 4 rooms, some of the b&b's around their area are only going to take groups of upto 10 people so if folk are out in a single walker or two they will find it difficult to find anywhere, as the b&b will have to have separate tables for each group and keep the distance between them owners will have to wear masks and gloves to serve them, a lot of regulations which will make a lot more work when there are only two of you.
Posted on 23/05/2020 12:11 by eurortravellerAs things stand right now the French border is closed , and after that there is 14 days quarantine for anyone from UK who manages to get into France, and another 14 days quarantine at home when they get back. Things are not unwinding yet.
