French quarentine is not mandatory. Bars, restaurants and shops are open with 1 meter distancing. A few places require you to wear a mask, but not many.

Yes please I also would also like to know if this is enforced.
I have already cancelled two holidays, been to work every weekday since Christmas break finished. Not been to shops or out other than for exercise. Social distanced at work, had all breaks alone and used copious amounts of soap & gel.
Now I want to drive to a lake staying in my car all the way (Eurotunnel) have my food and bait delivered to the swim each day as required, leave the lake once to fill up (pay at pump) and come home the same way encountering ****ing no one. So if some dogmatic evolutionary cul-de-sac jobsworth wishes to bugger that up I may get a little cross.
Thanks this has been cathartic.

Thanks for that, much appreciated! Im hoping my “essential worker” letter will help me avoid the quarantine when we return on 4th July.

If you go online and look at the return form there is a whole list of exemptions , you may be one of them.

How can they contact you on the phone (I presume ) at home when you don't have a home phone number ?

I was thinking more about being abroad and not having 1 of the modern phones with internet access, my Asda pay as you go Nokia 2210 doesn´t cope with that and yes I know about internet cafe´s, I am sure that some people won´t have a clue what to do.

Presumably you will have to supply a mobile number, whole system is a shambles and unnecessary!

Mobile number i understand but if/when they call they can't prove that your at home 😉 let's hope it's all relaxed in the next few weeks

Had a phone call today from a lady who asked me had I travelled from France in the last 14 days.
She asked if I was self isolating which I confirmed I was.
She then asked if I knew what the corona virus symptoms were which I confirmed that I did.
She then told me not to go to a doctors or a hospital if I had the symptoms stay at home unless they got really severe in which case to phone 999.
Never asked me if I was at home.
