Vacation advice within France

Some great info from you all and so it looks as if the earliest to go will be the second week in July from Portsmouth to Caen then maybe to see our friends near Limoges and over to the west coast La Rochelle coast area. Hopefully we will find some nice places to stay en route and things on site are reasonably open.

2nd week of July gives you loads of time to see what is forecast to occur to actually occur. It will also enable you to see La Rochelle coast rammed to the rafters with french tourists heading there for their holidays. Still possible to enjoy the beautiful area but it will be packed then

The weather’s pretty poor in France at the moment, by the way, particularly where we are currently on the Vendée coast. It’s been raining all night and continues to rain heavily now

Looking better for next week, though

Another advantage of the Tunnel is that you stay in your vehicle. No having to brush past, or sit next to, a possible CV carrier.

If you are at risk, or simply cautious, it is worthy of consideration.

We have just booked the Tunnel today for 5th August to travel to our place in Burgundy. Not going until then purely for family reasons.

Have a good trip!

Of course while the FCO still advise not to travel non-essentially travel insurance won't cover you which needs to be considered. Never had problems before travelling but there is always sods law.

It's been hot here today on the Vendee ! Not bright sunshine but around 23 degrees at least I reckon (local display said 22' at 4.30 this afternoon ) tries to rain every couple of hours then gives up after 2 or 3 mins.

Yes, the weather for us has been great for the last few days, barring the odd shower. Hot and getting hotter according to the forecasts.

has it been stated anywhere that travel to France will be open in July?

We can't go to France yet can we?

Please let us know if you make it and are allowed to stay.

It's open and 3 or 4 of us are here !!

Our campsite is filling fast for the weekend and we saw around 20+ motorhomes out and about in the roads today around St Jeans de Monts and surrounding areas, though sadly we were the only Brits we think. Also saw at least 100 Motorhomes parked up various aires. There are around 6 on the campsite we are on.

We have booked Plymouth Roscoff form Monday night 6th July and then going across to LeMans staying there a couple of nights in a site that is open, then across to some friends in Confelens for a couple of days, then who knows where in France for a couple of weeks then back to UK from an undecided port or Eurotunnel. Who knows what is going to happen in coming weeks after the Leicester situation so we think better go now for a while just in case Sept/Oct brings second big spike.

Hi

Has anyone arrived in France in their motorhome since the UK opened its borders from France without Quarantine? We should arrive in France tomorrow on the 7th and wondered if we will still have to technically Self Isolate for 14 days and hence stay in our motorhome.

Regards
ALAN

No need to quarantine, just enjoy and stay safe

 

[Woofer wills]

Thanks for the reply - On the France Gov site it is still saying that you will be asked to Self Isolate so presumably you were not asked ?

 

[sallylillian]

I think it says you are "invited". It was a political issue rather than a scientific one. We crossed on the 18th June, French did not even look at our passports.

 

[Woofer wills]

Well thats good to hear I hope we get similar treatment and hope you are enjoying your trip. This is our first trip in our Hymer abroad which will be a lot different to driving our car.

take a look at the guinea pig thread. two of us went over on the day the border opened - and a few more have gone over since ! i think we may be the only ones who have returned and are currently quarantined ..... but it was well worth it!
