Transiting france

I have business in northern italy, which can only be concluded in person, while i could fly in, i would prefer to combine it with a holiday, to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
I Have no intention of getting on a plane for the foreseeable future, so the only other option is to drive there, or to wait, but that could cost me a lot of money.
Ferry to Santander, drive to Barcelona, Ferry to Genoa!!
Expensive.BUSBY.
 
I was trying to be discreet and circumspect and stuff ... :oops: :LOL:She was only a roadmender's daughter ...

I know you were, unfortunately I also still have a high school sense of humour at times. Things need said, as a Glaswegian once said to me.

I'm married to a Bankie ... :oops: And my humour never developed beyond the 3rd Form [according to a former work colleague] :LOL:

I sent this email to the French embassy on the 31st of May.

Hello,

Can you help me with your border entry rules please. We are two people living in the UK who both hold Irish Passports (E.U. approved).

Will we be allowed to enter France (Early July) if we turn up at the Dover to Calais ferry port with our Irish passports, a negative antigen test document (taken within last 48 hrs) and a sworn declaration. Then transit down through France and cross the Spanish Border at Irun. Would we need further testing to exit France. I expect it would take us 2 days to travel through France in our Motorhome and during this time we would isolate ourselves in our Motorhome.

Regards,

Philip

This is the response I received this morning.

Dear Sir/ Madam,



Due to the travel restrictions + compulsory 7 days quarantine for all entering France, I regret to say that driving through France is currently not an option. I invite you to check https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du-Ministere/Attestation-de-deplacement-et-de-voyage for an eventual ease of the situation.

Cordialement/ Regards,

That'll be a 'Non', then? :rolleyes:

Amicalement, mais je ne suis pas vachement content

I got an extremely similar response from mine.
At least it cleared it up, even though there was potential with the "Border Official decision making"
Succesfully moved my leave back a week so now looking at 28th June. I fear we may have to wait til France turns green before we can expect a reciprocal response

No reply to my email as yet, not that it matters though, i think the issue is settled.
