Returning UK visitors also need new French form
British visitors in France who plan to travel through France to return to the UK will need to carry one of the Covid-19 travel ‘attestation’ forms with them, the British Embassy has clarified.

Anyone in France going out and about must now have a form with them explaining the reason for them being outside but the specific situation of people such as holidaymakers and second home owners going home was not included in the initial announcements.
The embassy states they have been informed that this is permissible, but that such people should nonetheless carry one of the standard forms (you may also write out the same information by hand), and it is suggested that you add to it wording such as: “Je rentre au Royaume-Uni en voiture / par avion (aéroport de…) / par train” [I am returning to the UK by car / by plane (from …. airport) / by train].
An embassy spokeswoman said British residents in France wanting to go to the UK should restrict themselves to reasons mentioned in the standard advice to the French, such as travel for urgent family reasons such as to care for a vulnerable person or look after children etc.
