France is currently not on the travel corridor list so 14 days of quarantine will be required upon return to England.

However, from December 15, this time period can be reduced to five days if you test negative for coronavirus under the government’s new Test and Release scheme.

What’s more, France is currently in the throes of a second national lockdown. “The health situation in France remains severe,” said the FCDO.
