Latest Traffic News
All the latest traffic information in France & around the Channel ports
June is normally a relatively quiet month on French roads but as the lock down is lifted there is likely to be an increase in 'normal' traffic, but at present there are only two problem days forecast by Bison Fute. These are the 27th June which is forecast as orange - 'difficile', whilst the 26th is forecast as red - 'tres difficile'. This additional traffic is due to Public holiday traffic but any traffic problems are dependant on any future measures that may be introduced by the government.
As you are no doubt aware, France is closed to motorhomes & visitors from other countries until 15th June at the earliest, the only valid reasons for entry from other European countries & the UK are:
-
Going home to a main residence – proof of residence required
-
Essential work in France
-
Medical staff
-
Freight Driver
People going to France are required to complete a declaration indicating one of the above reasons.
Currently the ferry companies are running limited services for freight & essential travel (as above) only.
The roads in France are pretty much devoid of traffic at the moment as France continues its lockdown with mainly just lorries on the roads as well as the cars of some essential workers, and of course the gendarmes. The campsites are all closed until further notice & motorhome parking is not allowed on the aires although there are still some motorhomes stranded on campsites.
