Have you travelled to France under the current Covid restrictions?
"I received a phone call from the local gendarmerie who were at my house and wanted to know where I was!”

We would appreciate you sharing your travel experience by answering this short questionnaire.
In the current climate planning trips to and from France can be complicated, if not impossible. We are asking readers from anywhere in the world to share their experiences of arriving in or departing from France under the current Covid restrictions by answering six questions via this link.
One reader highlights the importance of paying very close attention to the required forms:
“I flew from Gatwick to Nice airport with EasyJet on Tuesday evening and realised that in the hurry to complete the quarantine form I had mistakenly entered my home address (from elsewhere in France) instead of where I would be staying in Nice.
The following morning I received a phone call from the local gendarmerie who were at my house and wanted to know where I was!”
Your feedback will be used in an online article to help clarify the situation for all readers. The article will be freely accessible to all but will not name any of those who have shared their experiences.
