Useful Websites

With the rules constantly changing, here are some useful sites for the latest advice and information: French Government (French); French Government (English) and UK Government.

The site Re-open EU provides useful information regarding travel, services and health, etc...

We would review with you any updates that may affect your booking. Should the French government introduce a lock-down or border closure, any booking would have to be cancelled and we would give you the choice of postponing or reimbursing your stay. In the event of cancellation of your stay for other than the two reasons mentioned above, the T&Cs accepted at booking stage would apply.
