Does anyone know what the requirements are currently imposed for travelling through France without stopping.
It is still restricted to essential travel. Just wondered what guys who have booked with Angling Line or other drive and survive companies have been told?

You won't be allowed in to the country. Just checked the Eurotunnel site. Crystal clear.

Only if you get stopped by the police at the other end I know sombody that went over on Monday and was ok
But you are correct you are not meant to be going over for holidays

I was due out on 6th June. I could've risked it, but decided to postpone til October.
I was told by one person that lives out there that the 100kms rule only applies to residents, but not to risk trying to get into the country.
A friend that lives there reckons the 100kms rule applies to everyone and is strictly enforced, but it wouldn't matter as I stood little chance of getting out of the port in the first place.
Glad I changed dates

Depends where in France you live. I've seen the Gendarmes twice in 2 months and never been stopped. I would imagine if you are in or near one of the red zones it would be different.

There's still a 60 mile travel limit as far as I am aware. Would you want to risk getting turned home after you had planned your trip to death (like I do!) only to lose the whole week? My trip was due 30th May and I've rebooked for next year. It hurt but less than having to drive home from a cancelled trip.

At the moment, when you get off the boat or shuttle you will be in Department 62 Pas-de Calais region Hauts-de France, which is a RED zone. That means travel only for Essential shopping, going to the pharmacie or going to the doctors. You are only allowed to travel 100kl if you are in a GREEN zone. Most of the North and East regions of France are in the RED zone. NO TRAVEL.

The article doesn't really say anything about foreign tourists though.

French domestic tourism accounts for about 55% of the total tourism and is worth more than 8 billion euros to the economy, which is not an insignificant amount. Added to that is the fact that you don't need border controls for internal tourism and you can see why they are keen to see a return to the industry.

Mate of mine with a lake down near Dijon which is in a red zone got a visit from the mayor yesterday and was told to keep his water closed until September.
He is only venturing out to the supermarket and says there are police parked outside every time checking that people are going through the decontamination process.
There have been no reported cases of covid in his or any neighbouring towns and they want to keep it that way, he also said that the mayor was totally bemused at the fact we had VE street parties.
