Mokryna Look at the Connexion on line. It has a regularly updated piece on the requirements for travelling between France and the UK.

? I will fly this time as it will be a short trip but I was thinking of driving over as the roads wouldn’t be so cluttered with HGV.

There certainly are plenty of HGV on the roads - in fact I commented to DH that if there were an extra 100,000 drivers would that mean an extra 100,000 HGV on the roads?

(Don't answer, it was rhetorical!)

I don't know the answers, should have asked more questions of our English relatives over from France when we saw them recently. They've gone back now.
Enjoy your trip, hope you find the answers.

Flying between the UK and Europe is very easy. We flew back to the UK from Spain a fortnight ago and since then it’s even less restrictive! Easio.

Don't know about the rest, but Randox are a reliable testing company. Used them when I returned to the UK.

Could you bring some food parcels with you please and a few gallons of petrol would also be appreciated. Thank you.

I haven’t visited the UK since Brexit/covid and I would appreciate suggestions from recent travelers before I book.
Does the French securite sociale cover the medical charges I could incur in the UK or I should buy an extra as if I was traveling to Australia or US (over 71)?
Could someone recommend a company to book ‘the second day test’.
Do I have to take a test before leaving France?
Do I have to take another in England before leaving for France?
Thank you for your help, the UKgov has so much information that my eyes glaze over after a few minutes.
