France announces it is putting UK on its list of countries from which travellers are obliged to quarantine for 10 days due to concerns over the rise in the Indian variant.
 
Here is what I just got from the link of the Ambassy

Si vous vous trouvez dans un autre pays - hors UE​

Depuis le 31 janvier 2021, toute entrée en France et toute sortie du territoire français à destination ou en provenance d’un pays hors de l’espace européen (Union européenne, Andorre, Islande, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norvège, Saint-Marin, Saint-Siège et Suisse) sont interdites, sauf : motif impérieux d’ordre personnel ou familial, motif de santé relevant de l’urgence ou motif professionnel ne pouvant être différé.

Arrivées depuis l’Australie, la Corée du Sud, Israël, le Japon, la Nouvelle-Zélande, le Royaume-Uni ou Singapour.​

Si vous arrivez de l’un de ces sept pays vous pouvez venir en France.
Vous devrez vous conformer aux mesures de contrôle sanitaire pour entrer en France (test PCR et déclaration sur l’honneur).
Vous devrez vous isoler pendant sept jours lors de votre arrivée.
L’obligation de motif impérieux ne s’applique pas.
Votre voyage devra néanmoins entrer dans le cadre de l’une des dérogations, et vous serez soumis aux obligations de contrôle sanitaire ci-dessous (test PCR, déclaration sur l’honneur et période d’isolement).

Declare the place of quarantine as one's own MH.

Do the French really expect you to quarantine if one lands at Dunkirk and gets on the M/way to Belgium?

Took the words right out of my mouth! 😁
 
On The Guardian website
F984AFC0-435C-486F-A107-F6EF28961E8F.jpeg
 
(Reuters) - France on Wednesday declared a mandatory quarantine period for people coming from Britain due to the increasing prevalence there of a highly contagious coronavirus variant first detected in India.

France follows Austria, which on Tuesday said it was banning direct flights and tourist visits from Britain, and Germany which on Friday said anyone entering from the United Kingdom would have to quarantine for two weeks on arrival.

"There is a new situation with the progression of the so-called Indian variant in the United Kingdom," said government spokesman Gabriel Attal. "(France) will set up compulsory isolation for people coming from the United Kingdom."

Attal did not say how long the quarantine period would last. There would be more details in the next few hours, he added.

Thing is , I'm not sure you'd be allowed to stay in your moho in the first place. I would imagine (didn't look for info on the subject) that you would be asked to stay in a specific hotel for the quarantine time
 
Oh well, that's our trip off. Unless they have a change of heart. It does seem to me to be politically inspired. A huge percentage of our population are fully vaccinated, many living nowhere near the spiked areas. You'd think they'd welcome us with open arms (ie most of us have inocculated arms, unlike theirs)

So the above is a translation from French

Do I read it that if you enter from a EU country no problem. So Harwich to Holland turn right into Belgium and France this will mean no quarantine.

Don't think it's politically inspired. The French do tend to act defensively [BSE Beef Ban springs to mind] and 'UK Indian Variant' plus the manner in which it was acquired has played into French hands. France also has its own Bordeaux Variant. Germany and Austria have also banned UK travellers, so it's more widespread than just 'those pesky French'.

I do not think this restriction will last until the school holidays, there’ll be too many reaching for their wallets and putting pressure on the politicians over there by then
 
I predicted this action in the Indian Variant thread on May 16th. But I also expect that the EU will see the Indian variant spread quickly there too, which may well cause the EU to stay on the Red List for a while yet.

It's going to be constant hope / despair for those wanting to get to France this summer I think.

Glad we are going somewhere else 👍
 
No chance we will be going anywhere near France until their vaccination rate improves dramatically.
As of 24th May UK was 56.26% vaccinated and France was a pathetic 34.56% vaccinated. We're also accelerating our vaccinations whilst France is slowing down due to their strong anti vax culture. Indian variant will spread there much faster than in the UK.
Details here: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
Add to that the vindictive attitude of the French Government now that we are out of their expensive, unelected club.
No thanks this year!

As I have said before, all my holiday bookings for school holidays rolled forward from last year, but I won’t need a politician to tell me whether it’s safe or not to go. Plenty of time left for it to go either way and will see nearer the time.
 
It's on the Beeb now.
