Yes I felt if anyone would impose stricter rules it would be France on Uk travellers
You can cut the 10 days down to 5 with an extra test which I'll probably end up doing but the annoying thing is I'm sure they said they'd make no short notice changes like last year when everyone ended up queuing at the ports but yet here we are again with a change made 3 days before it takes effect.

Not looking forward to the retaliatory measures France will now impose on the UK
Supposed to be going out next Saturday but I don't hold out much hope of that happening now

, this the reason, NOT the so called beta SA variant, it is not prevalent in France, that is BS.

Well.... That's France cancelled till further notice. I feel it for the lake owners but if they have your money and you can't go as it's now a red zone you should get a refund or move the booking without question IMO.
A lot of unhappy UK based anglers out there no doubt..
LOL... I just hope the peeps using.... 'work parties' to get fishing in France are ruled out as well...

France is still amber!
No tests needed to enter France from today for all double jabbed... so ALL the restrictions are what the UK have initiated.
If lake owners continue to move bookings then consider yourselves very very fortunate.

Does anyone know a website that tracks daily or weekly cases of beta variant in France?
Quarantine isn't a major issue for our family but if it turns to red in the next few weeks then will need to get back sharpish.
The consensus seems to be France would have gone to red had it not been for the impracticalities of getting 10's of 1000's into hotels.
I'd like to see the weekly figures myself to form a view. Scientists are suggesting the numbers of beta aren't really rising but drew comparisons with the Seychelles that was fully vaccinated but saw a rise of 70% in beta that caused major hospitalisations.
Website anyone pls?

The beta variant only accounts for 3.4% in mainland France. The overall number is higher because they have very high numbers of the beta variant in la reunion which is out near Madagascar but is a French protectorate.

Oops. My mistake. Its not on the red list but the relaxing of restrictions does not include france while the gov look at the beta variant numbers.
So you'll need to quarantine upon return and pay for tests.
From Monday, UK residents who have had two COVID jabs will no longer have to isolate after returning to England from amber list countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece.
France was meant to be part of the plan, but last night the government said it would be excluded while it looks at latest data on rising cases of the Beta variant in the country.
It means travellers must continue to quarantine for 10 days.
They must also have a coronavirus test on the second and eighth day - however the option of ending isolation early on day five with a separate test will remain.
The policy switch has angered Britons currently on holiday in France, while Easyjet's boss said it "pulls the rug" from people already on trips to the country, which is introducing its own enhanced testing regime for non-vaccinated people arriving from places where the Delta variant - not Beta - is considered especially prevalent.
People who have not been double jabbed will have to test negative for COVID-19 (via PCR or antigen) within 24 hours of arrival in France if they are travelling from the UK, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands and Greece.
