France open to foreigh visitors from June 15th?

We've just been told this is the case - but I don't know if it's just a rumour.
Does anyone know if this is official?

Weebly

Our site is weebly based - the basic package. Take a look and you can judge for yourself - it does what we want it to.

Good luck whichever way you swing

LotBoy We're down near Carcassonne, and a villa not a Gite, but we get a reasonable response from HFD Brittany Ferries and French Connections. Two bookings of 7 days each in the last 12 months from each, so it 'aint huge, but they do pay their way. Gite Search and Gites.Com don't do anything for us....

Fire blanket an essential for the kitchen - for the rest it's well worth talking to your local fire prevention officer: they're very helpful in explaining what's best for all contingencies.

PIMS is great - simple to set up and use. We've used it for 8 years and it's foolproof (must be if I can use it)
