France in April

I am supposed to be going to France in 5 weeks time with my husband and my 20 month old. We are going by ferry with our car and not staying in a hotel but in a large house with my sister in laws and their partners (+ 2 kids age 5 & 19 months).

What are your thoughts at the moment, would you go? I am not looking to cancel anything until much nearer the time.

My main worries are
Getting stuck abroad (or worse still, on the ferry!!)
Obviously catching the virus and giving it to my parents who are in their 70s.
Getting to France and no shops open/no food or drink left

I don't think theres any cases close to where we're staying but probably will be by the time we go, cases in France seem to be jumping up quickly over night (much like the UKs). We are not staying in a touristy type place, think theres only a vineyard & bakery near the house.
I have travel insurance so would get ferry money back if the ferry company cancelled, we wouldn't get the house money back as it was bought at a charity auction (not that I'm too bothered about the money tbh).

Just wanted to guage opinion really.

We have a week in France booked during the Easter holidays too. At the moment we're adopting a 'wait and see' approach and not making any decisions.

Yeah us too Smile at the moment though I'm definitely leaning towards cancelling.
