France has Re-Opened for Travel
As of today (January 14th 2022), fully vaccinated people travelling from the UK to France will no longer need an essential reason for travel and no longer have to quarantine on arrival.
You will still, however, be required to present the negative result of a Covid test [PCR or lateral flow] taken in the 24 hours before your journey begins.
It should also be noted that from Saturday all adults, residents and visitors, will need to have had a booster Covid jab to be considered 'fully vaccinated' under French health pass rules for leisure and attending events within France, if their second jab was more than seven months ago (the NHS Covid App is acceptable in France for 'health pass' purposes).
Boosters are not however a requirement for entry to the country, though this could change later in the year.
Viewing appointments are now being snapped up quickly so get in touch and secure your viewing trip appointments as soon as possible.

It’s a very unusual situation right now…
On the one hand, the Pound has jumped to 12-month highs against the Euro.
On the other hand, the Pound is nearing 12-month lows against the US Dollar.
I’m no historian, but I can’t recall ever seeing that before!
There are of course good reasons behind these extraordinary moves.
The US Dollar is surging on the back of rampant US inflation – which could force the Federal Reserve to rapidly tighten policy.
As for the Euro, it’s getting hammered as Covid is once again sweeping through Europe as winter approaches.
The Pound is caught somewhere in between.
The UK faces rising inflation and rising Covid – which in currency terms are cancelling each other out.
For our customers, these big market moves present risk and opportunity.
If you are selling Dollars or buying Euros, it’s a golden opportunity.
For those on the other side of the equation, you may need to think about whether you can afford for things to get worse.
