My booking was fixed for two weeks time, a few weeks ago the venue refused to move it and said people were still coming and the borders were open so you either come or you lose your money.
I'd like to think that this has now changed but we'll see today.

Official information below
Entry to France
Travellers arriving in France from the UK, European Area, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay are no longer required to self-isolate, or to demonstrate their travel is essential. Arrivals by sea and air routes will need to complete a ‘sworn statement' (déclaration sur l'honneur) form self-certifying they are not suffering from symptoms associated with Covid19 and have not been in contact with confirmed cases in the preceding fortnight. This is available in English on the site of the French Embassy London.

Old fellahs comment below is the current state of play. Of course this is highly likely to change following the Presidents headline announcement yesterday. The Prime Minister is speaking later today with the detailed info.

Yup, my view here is that she doesn't want to have to refund or rebook that weeks anglers.
On one hand she apparently posted a teary post on fb saying she could possibly loose the place as she wasn't able to pay the lease, but have seen other posts relaying that she has stated she has plenty of bookings until 2025.
I am sure the truth is somewhere between the 2, but to actively encourage people to travel when the rest of the country is shutting down, prior to having official confirmation of the position, is in my book irresponsible, misguided and exceedingly poor customer service.

Looking at the latest information travel is only allowed for certain categories and leisure fishing is not one of them. I have now cancelled our bookings for November as I believe that anglers will not be able to travel to us. I have also heard that van hire companies are now not prepared to rent vans for travel to France. My advice for what it is worth is not to try travelling whilst the lock down is still in place.

The video started off all ok and understandable but then quickly descended to, if you all only lose a few hundred pounds each and spread the load, she'll be ok. Was quite annoying to read when you are possibly about to lose 4.5k of money (we had 2 weeks booked for this trip)
Confirmed on the advance bookings, you'll struggle to get much choice this side of 2025

Your link doesn't say what the body of your message says. I think it will eventually but, the French EMbassy haven't said it yet.

Agree I was due to arrive and fish Woods lake on Saturday .
Pascal actively encouraged me to travel I feel against the advice from the French government .
2.5 years ago I booked this trip and no chance of her moving the date.

No french lake owner should be encouraging anglers to travel to France!
