If that is true Gary it will make a lot of people happy who have trips planned, myself included as my April trip obviously didn't happen.
Also I am sure a lot of places have had trips after this cancelled by the anglers just as a precaution so I imagine there's going to be plenty of late bookings to be had.

Thanks for the update.
Hopefully it is the case.

Just seen this post from our good friends from next door on the Goncourt complex.... Pascale has been in touch with the French government, regarding French fishing and travel.. heres hoping virus levels are under control...
.. Good evening,
I have a little bit of a good news for everyone. A few days ago I have been sending a letter to our Prime Minister and I have received an answer from him today.
English people will be definitely able to travell France from the 15th of June if the COVID 19 figures don't get worse...
I was really pleased with the prompt reply and the positive outcome. 🙏🙏🙏🍾🍾🍾 so looking forward to having the life and soul back in the complex !!!
Love to you all !!!
Pascale ❤️

Whilst you may well be able to drive in France, the Daily Mail is reporting the 14 day quarantine deal with France will only apply to freight and business travel.
Truth is I don't think anybody knows with any certainty at present.

Initially it doesnt look good I agree , however they have said it will be reviewed every three weeks , plus the airlines , Tunnel , ferries etc will be putting enourmous pressure on the Gov to lift it otherwise it's the final nail in the coffin for them .

To be honest they should have implemented it at the very beginning of this pandemic

The UK 2 week quarantine requirement if kept in place has just stopped most foreign fishing holidays.

Yep, a few will go ahead, retired people, home workers, those able/willing to make a 1 week trip a 3 week period with the 2 weeks at home after the fishing in self quarantine.


Maybe the new rise in home working will help bookings?



Fingers crossed UK and France Covid 19 cases continue to reduce and France get an exemption like other countries will low Covid 19 cases as talked about today

I've got a tunnel crossing 15th June AM having moved it from this evening (FFS). The 15th is the day I think the French border reopens. I'm happy to self quarantine on the way back, but not sure if France is making people quarantine their side after the 15th? Obvs pointless if they are, but read conflicting things on web. Other issue is UK lifting non essential travel, but fingers crossed for something in second phase / 1st June onwards.

Anyone else looking to travel at first opportunity?

We're due to go to Limoges on 20th June so in a similar boat to yourself.
Haven't booked the tunnel yet but will soon start planning kit etc.
I think if the UK and French figures drop then we've got a fair chance of going.

Its a complete joke. If anything people should be stopping us from going into their countries, every day our rates are much higher then the rest of Europe. When asked yesterday why they didn't do this from the start when thousands of people were still coming into the country the response was it would not have made a difference.

I wouldn't worry about it ... it's completetly and utterly un enforceable ! And the government know this . Who do you think would possibly do the “ supposed “ follow up checks ? The police ? The birder force ? Traffic wardens ,,,!,
They are making a big song and dance over this is an effort to continue their control over the population by scare mongering .. as they have done all along ... they've already hinted that the reacation and objections from the airlines , ferries , Tunnel etc is so massive that the whole suggestion is under immediate review ...
Boris said a few weeks agai that “ the government would make every effort to prop up the UKs tourist industry “ and I guess this is it !, ... Go outdoors announced yesterday an 460 % increase in camping gear sales over this time last year ! ..
Yep , the government is helping the local tourism industry alright - by scaring everyone to stay in the U.K. !



Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
