Seems that it is 7 day but we cannot know at this time whether isolating at a lake will be acceptable. It should be clarified later.

Probably best to just write this year off, I was hopeful perhaps optimistic my trips in September and October would go ahead this year now I'm thinking probably not, ten days isolation on arrival seven days fishing then a further ten days isolation on return practically a month off work to go fishing for a week in France, even if you can account for seven days at the lake where do you spend the other three days?
Lads I know who are back after a weeks trip arriving back last Saturday are just doing their ten days isolation they are being called everyday and one has had a visit to his door so they are making the checks.

I think that July 1st could see all the restrictions easing. Fingers crossed.

Everything's crossed at this point Jim I do hope your right, even more importantly me and the wife want to get over to Holland to see our son I've got Vouchers here off KLM from last April, yes we can skype/zoom etc.. but it's not like being in the same space as each other going out for a beer/meal or bit of sight seeing, we moved him over in August 2019 and apart from a short two day stop over prior to Christmas that year we haven't been back, we had the April bank holiday 2020 booked for a return as he had got his mortgage and moved into a new home with his girlfriend in a very short space of time by Jan 2020, I know the area he lives as a Dutch mate of mine lives a few minutes away and I have stayed with him a few times, there is an outstanding park lake not far away with some absolute lovely commons in it but that aside the boys all excited about moving into his own property even been recently promoted in his job and we cannot visit him or celebrate it in anyway really.

Hopefully you will be able to get over to Holland sooner rather than later. If you look logically at the situation the infection rate is on a downward trend all over Europe but the introduction of the Indian variant into the UK has put the fright on the EU countries. With mass inoculation now really underway things should be improving almost daily. I believe that the French Government will want to open up again when the real holiday season gets underway at the beginning of July for economic reasons. Unless there is a sudden flair up of Covid in the meantime I anticipate that from the end of June we should e able to travel with much more freedom.

Not according to a quote from the French Europe Minister, unfortunately I can't see fishing as an essential reason.
Clément Beaune, the French Europe minister, said on Wednesday that starting on Monday, travellers arriving from the UK who are not either French nationals or residents will have to demonstrate an essential reason for their journey.
They would also have to produce a negative result from a PCR or lateral flow test carried out less than 48 hours – rather than the usual 72 hours – before departure, and self-isolate for seven days, Beaune tweeted.
France currently requires travellers from 16 countries including Brazil, India, Argentina and Turkey, to undergo an obligatory 10 days of self-isolation either at home or at a nominated, approved address, with the right to go out only two hours a day and a fine of €1,500 in the event of non-compliance.

Amber and red listed countries should only be visited for emergency or work reasons and having a party to celebrate a promotion doesn't really fit into any valid reason.
We are still in a global pandemic after all...

What. A. Mess. This is down to piss poor management of our borders by the government. Take back control? Pfffft. As Tim Paisley once said, how do you snort in print?

"The French government announced that from 31 May, anyone arriving from the UK must quarantine for seven days", think your comment and the previous posters comment are wrong!
