Travel Update
Passengers travelling from the UK, with residency in other EU countries under the Withdrawal Agreement, can again transit through France to return home. Subject to their journey to UK being completed before 28 Dec 2021.
This comes into force immediately.
For any passengers heading to the UK: it is essential that you check the rules for travel and accommodation in the UK before travelling. Please note, the border is currently closed from the UK into France.
Tomorrow the travel industry will be coming together to call on the Gov to implement the

system as intended so travel can resume properly this summer. We ensure passengers can isolate in their travel bubbles in their vehicle.
