Covid: Can my son visit his father in France at Christmas?
Travel to France is set to start again from December 15 if lockdown is lifted
Reader question: My teenage son is due to go and spend time with his father over Christmas. Will he be allowed to travel for this reason?
If France drops its lockdown as planned on December 15, then yes, this will be possible.
