  1. Don't worry Lehaut, ALBF has made it quite clear before that he can't understand why anyone would apply for French nationality. Doesn't matter where you live, he will view you as an expat numpty. I believe he is trying for UK nationality for his wife though!

    To be fair, although I also think he is odious!! The French government have said there isn't a problem!! 

    The Daily Snail said a ministry source had told them no problem, the French news agency AFP then quoted the ministry saying that there was, and now Eurotunnel are saying all is well, subject to their journey to the UK having been completed before the 28th December 2021.  So that's clear then

    New years day is my birthday.

    There will be no singing, dancing or fasting. 

     

    Or presents.....?

     

    No Christmas past, or present, or future, what the Dickens? There's a tale!

     

  4. We always enjoy les fêtes here, no need for pubs, we have family and friends.  We all share the load, everyone brings something to eat and drink. 

    This year was a little different, we thought we had covid, so were obliged to isolate.  Christmas was a write off, but our tests were negative this morning, so bring on new year's eve, there will be feasting, singing and dancing.

  5. You can isolate in a hotel, but you are obliged to isolate in the same place until you have either done your 48 hour test to release or the full 10 days. So you would have to stay a minimum of 2 days at the hotel

    1. Où puis-je effectuer ma période d’isolement lors de mon arrivée en France ?
    Vous pouvez effectuer votre période d’isolement dans le lieu de votre choix : à votre domicile, à l’hôtel, chez des parents ou amis….
    La période d’isolement doit être faite dans un lieu unique.

    One way around the glitch is to compose the message in Word, or Open Office or whatever, save the file and then attach that. A faff, but better than nothing. Mind you, having the courtesy of a reply is a whole autre chose ?

    Do we even know if people CAN reply?  Maybe they are faced with the same problem.

  7. If you are over 65 you can go to any vaccination centre, no appointment needed.  Castex announced some time ago that all vaccination centres are now obliged to give the booster, without RDV, to anyone over 65.

  8. What he actually said in his address was a test of less than 48 hours, for people arriving from outside of the EU, vaccinated or not.

    For those arriving from within the EU, if not vaccinated, the delay is reduced to 24 hours.

    Which seems rather odd, as they are giving greater leeway to the non vaccinated coming from outside the EU than to those from inside it.

    We went to book our third vaccination this morning, respecting the 6 month rule.  The pharmacy was heaving with people doing the same thing!  Evidently the new delay is down to 5 months as of 5 days ago.  Did not know this.

    For over 65s, the current continued validation of the Pass Sanitaire is predicated on you having the third vaccination at or before the 6 mth anniversary, plus a leeway of an 4 extra weeks.   This works for us as we are booked on an SNCF train with a valid pass.  

    If, however, they change the 6 mth rule to align with the new 5 mth directive, it could catch some people out over the holiday period.

    As of 29 Nov the old rules still apply.  Hopefully they don't change the Pass Sanitaire rules.

    You have to have had the 3rd dose within 6 months plus 4 weeks from your last dose.  Allowing people to take their booster from 5 months after their last is purely to give people more time, it has nothing to do with invalidating the pass sanitaire.
