Ken, you can still travel via Eurotunnel! Guys are fishing at my old lake, no problems as far as I know and lately no questions being asked, quarantine is not an issue either, going out there anyway!

Adds about 500 miles to the journey!

Guys: I said that the Tunnel was no problem, nor are there problems using short crossing ferries. Down west the long crossing ferries (Brittany Ferries to be precise) are not taking passengers and their cars at the moment, this to be reviewed on 28th June.

Don't suppose Boris is going to make Macron stay in the UK for 14 days quarantine after his visit to see him over the last couple of days.....

Just received an email from Brittany Ferries saying they are running passenger services from the 29th of June.
Lots of restrictions on the ferry but my crossing is 11 hour at night so I have no issues with whatever the restrictions will be.
Just relieved to be getting out.

Think that's a pretty good indication that air/ ferry bridges will be in by then , or very shortly after . I'm assuming that Brittany Ferries would not be starting on that date without a serious nod from the Goverment !
Hope so ! I'm off to Dijon on Friday and I really don't want the agro and crap of filling in forms etc etc

Been costly for the last couple of weeks. £260+ for a van return, I've been keeping an eye on it.
Topped up my frequent traveller account to keep mine down for first trip next week. £120 return

I'm off to Marne Valley 11th July, pretty much 99.999% certain it's happening as far as all the information tells me. I so need this holiday that I'd even pay the £1000 fine if push comes to shove!.

Doesn't the FCO still advise against all but essential travel (worldwide) ??

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/france. (Updated 18/06 & current advice as of 21/06)

Although this is likely to change imminently & by July it will probably be a free for all; its a bit concerning that people are obviously going over there Ignoring restrictions/guidance for a bit of fishing.........
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
