As a lake owner, I believe that French trips for 2021 will be a complete washout......people just cant afford to do the 10 day quarantine after their trip (1750 in a hotel if France goes on the red list, which is looking increasingly likely)......very slight possibility in Sept or Oct IF the French rates rapidly decrease....but then you also have the bait problem....2020 and 2021 have been terrible for lake owners over here, despite people thinking we are all rich and can ride out the storm, it really isnt like that at all....we are just hoping we can still open in 2022

The bait problem will never change. It's a situation that's been in place for decades. Covid will eventually be controlled. India isn't on the red list, would France be on red if India isn't? Be a rather strange ruling. But who knows with Bonking Boris?

the rates are LOWER than UK? Really? ON my covid app yesterdays Covid infections (new) shows as being 29344......what was the UKs number?
Yes people may be allowed to travel to France BUT will they want to pay the 2-300 quid for the 2 and 8 day tests in the UK AND isolate for 7-10 days when returning home, thus turning your 7 day trip into 3 weeks off work?

Most pharmacies in France do testing and give vaccinations so it should be straightforward.

Straightforward yes, but can cost 60 euros each , they are not all free for tourists
Imagine if you test positive, where are you gonna go, cant stay at the lake cant get home?

If you tested negative in the UK, been lakeside for a week, I doubt you'll test positive before you return. A small chance, it's always possible. Will most take the chance? I'd say yes. I've been to Spain twice this year from France. Would I go again? Yes. Whatever you do in life involves some risk.

OK whatever you say, you take a chance, most wont....but France isnt open yet thats all..
PS you mix with people on the ferry, customs officers, when you stop for a piss or some food , going to supermarket for beers or food, so you could get infected quite easily bearing in mind the infection rate in France 39000 new cases yesterday !!

Where I come from we just had outbrake in elderly home... 26/28 infected was vaccinated 2 times with Pfizer... Yes they all have mild symptoms and vaccine probably saved some lives but it just shows that vaccine passports are total and utter idiotism as vaccine doesnt prevent infections and spread of virus.

The vaccine is to prevent serious illness and hospitalisation. It does not prevent catching or spreading. Sounds like it did as it was meant to.
