i thought i would start a new thread please delete if not allowed. as the old one is a mess to read

has anyone got any current info on travelling to france for a fishing trip.

the way i understand it you can not take bait or food

you need a PCR test 72 hours before travel and 48 hours after return.

if anyone has any recent details please share

Correct as long as you are double vaccinated and come back after the 19th. Tons of info already in the other thread

Oh and a test before you leave France

Some EU countries aren't allowing people to travel if they have had Indian-made dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca batch numbers 4120Z001, 4120Z002 4120Z003 and 4120Z004 France is one of the countries

Im not out till end of September but im double jabbed so dont have to isolate on return yes? I need a negative test before i travel plus a negative before i return? Do i still need to book 2 tests once im back in the UK?

I know it changes often and probably will several times before my trip.

The problem is the version from those batches were produced in India under the name of covershield. The WHO approved it but its not been approved by the EU. France have yet to budge on it I believe Germany will now accept it

I had one of those batches and got into France without issue at the weekend. The French customs mainly wanted to see my negative test before travelling. I uploaded everything before travelling too.

We are all pissed off with the uncertainty of not going, and for some the almost certainty that they won't be going.
The governments made covid mistakes last year, and has made another mistake this year with the Indian variant, that's why I think they are being over cautious with this Beta variant from France. With 50,000 of mostly Indian variant, they won't the gamble of it being replaced by 50,000 of the Beta variant.
To make things easier and to put us out of misery, maybe it would be better if the French stopped us from coming, if I was the French I think that's what I'd be thinking.

Hardly a surprise is it really,anyone foolish enough to have booked either a year ago or even more foolishly booked recently I hope you get your monies back.
Are you sure?
