On the road now in France, you need this attestation to travel

We travelled back from Germany yesterday (Sunday). I was expecting quiet roads but actually think they were slightly busier than a normal Sunday. No form because no printer. No hassle but did see 2 Gendarmerie Motorcycles at Lille that seemed to be in the process of stopping a car travelling on the other carriageway .

I took the view that I had a Eurotunnel crossing booked in a few hours time and couldnt reasonably be expected to have access to a printer so could probably argue it. I imagine they would be checking more coming away from Calais??

Is there a UK quarantine requirement for you now?

You are allowed to transit countries on the naughty list as long as nobody leaves or joins. In truth its pretty easy, its only 5 hours from Aachen to Calais. We timed it nicely and were exactly 90 minutes early and went straight on the next train - 1 hour earlier than booked FOC.

We have made it up to Burgos from La Cala today. The roads were very quiet. Police were very visible at junctions around Granada. At Madrid, apart from getting stuck behind the cycle race escort, no police to be seen. We got stopped at a road block on the A1 at the entry point to the Burgos region. They had the motorway blocked and were filtering everything, without exception, through an armed road block. We got a quick hello from them and they peered into the car. Others got pulled to parking spaces and looked like they were getting a customs search, unless the dogs the police were using can sniff CV-19 out.
On to France tomorrow so I will update again.
Take care and stay safe all 👍

Recommend Twin lakes on way back! Just north of bordeaux. They have chalets if no accommodation.
 
Given I have just seen via another thread the Attestation for transiting France I thought people might appreciate the official version as the Eurotunnel does not mirror it reference long distance travel . As the correct version doesn’t .
I think the french version would be more accepted if stopped and if heading home then add you are transiting to return home as per March . I think yodeli did a good translation lol

You might want to save your printer ink!
We have just driven from Burgos, Spain to Montmorillon, France today. A total of 7.5h on the road. Crossed an international border on the paeage. All this during a state of emergency in both countries and, a heightened state of terror alert in France. We were not stopped once. More so, we did not see one customs, army or police officer on the road, not even parked in a vehicle. Bizarre! We are holed up here before hearing back to the UK in a while. I wonder if it is worth making a further declaration.....?
Safe travels all 👍
 
Think you were lucky . Latest update for our town .

Wow! You are a good way South of us here near Montmorillon. I honestly thought there was no way we were going to get back without being stopped. Particularly when we left the Paeage at Bordeaux and headed Angouleme, Confoloens and across country to Bellac and right through the centre of Montmorillon. As I said earlier, we saw no police at all. I was speaking to our builder friend who lives near Chaillac. He went to Limoges this morning to pick some materials up and he said the car park of the depot was rammed and the roads were busy. When we passed Bordeaux the roads were also really busy.
Anyway, keep safe all and look after yourselves.👍

BTW the French website has an option to generate an attestation on your phone, which you can show.

Indeed it does as long as you are tech savy enough to find it after you have completed it lol

I have a fix for that - generate it on the phone, then leave on the screen and don't touch the phone until I have finished my walk.
 
If you have an Android phone, once you have completed the form on your phone and pressed the button to send, the notification will be in the notification area at the top of the screen, swipe your finger down from top of screen to display it.
No idea what happens with Apple device.

I'm not very tech savvy and was worried about bringing it up on my phone, so I just took screen shots.

No I am serious, leave it on your browser. Open another tab if you need to browse something else. On an iPhone, press the home button to go and use something other than the browser.

As Vipar says you can save it to your photos, or you can save it to pdf,

Or hand your phone to anyone who asks for the attestation, and let them find it!

Think they are being more diligent than last time . Update from M Castex Thursday night as was muted at the beginning . If any concessions will only be for commerce ( which they also said at the beginning ) So not expecting to get freedom any time soon lol

I would be tempted to write on the Attestation 'I have Alzheimer's and am lost. Can you take me home please'

Do Flics have a sense of humour?

I flew down to Geneva then taxi to annecy to pick up my MH which has been broken down there for 7 weeks ,
I was bringing it home regardless of the attestations I didn’t have , ( Saturday ) 250miles , roads were pretty empty , no problems , ( Sunday ) 250miles roads were dead , came across a road block & check , they were pulling cars for checks , they never bothered me , on to tunnel & home , success 👍
