To cancel my half term driving holiday to France???!!!

[RollupRollup123]

Omg. So been looking forward to this holiday.our plan was to drive quite far south😂 Reading reports of stranded Brits is making me scared. What would you do????

Diesel is fine here now (SW France) although there was none last Tuesday. The shortages seem to be rather localised.

Diesel shortage is pretty bad around here (SE France).

The trick is not to go there while in the mist of the strike but easier said than done. Next, it will probably be the air controller strike during the Summer, just when we head off to France for our hols. If you want to know more about the french strikes coming up go to Cestlagreve.fr

Did you go Rollup?
Worse than the petrol situation is the flooding - central area and A10 really badly affected. Even Paris is affected here

I heard that there are strikes on the railways too.

Or potentially will be ?

There are my step dads train was cancelled today from Cannes. He's now trying to get back via Marseille I think.

There was no issue at all! We were restricted to 30 euros in some places but we were never unable to put fuel in.
Scaremongering by the British press! Quelle surprise!!

Im home and no issues whatsoever with petrol. Available as needed,

THE RAIN however.....Jees. Wet caravan for a week. Im so glad to be home.

Thanks all!

Home as well. Glorious week in Brittany, very little rain, plenty of sunshine, plenty of petrol.

Home as well. We went all the way to burgundy and back. As others have said, the problem seems to be with diesel more than petrol.

I'm back today. No problem with diesel in Brittany.

Glorious weather in Wales and in France we were lucky to get home as the area we were in was badly flooded. I now wish we had used the mini not the Land Rover as I would still be there! First world problems eh?

we are back and had no problems getting petrol, although the weather was worse than most of the uk in normandy
