You can no longer transit France from another country by car to return to the UK unless you are a resident of France.

Unless you have a compelling reason.

Oh dear,i have a friend who is setting of on a bicycle next week from central portugal to catch a ferry from dieppe,he has had no jabs .thanks for the reply,cant seem to get the link to open

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

okay got it now,cant see were it says another country ,just seems to say from UK,so still dont know if he can enter from spain and then transit on

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

Uk residents can’t go in any direction transiting through France.

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

I'm not up to date with the French regulations re travelling to/from the UK, but, even if your friend did manage to cross the Spain/France border, he would still need a Pass Sanitaire (at least 2 jabs, if not 3) for transiting through France. Hotels, restaurants, etc... ask for it before you're allowed in. And doesn't the Dieppe ferry require the Vaccination Certificate?
It might be advisable for your friend to get himself vaccinated at least twice as from now, even if it means postponing his Dieppe ferry. Or, once he's got the Portuguese equivalent of the French Pass Sanitaire, might he consider cycling to northern Spain and taking a ferry from there?
HTH
P.S. I've just read your post in the Portugal forum - maybe you should have mentioned that your friend is accompanied by a dog in a trailer? He should be aware that, even if he is fully vaccinated, not all French hotels/accommodation accept dogs. I'm not up to date with the vaccination regulations for a dog travelling to the UK, but presumably your friend is....

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

the reason he is going via dieppe is that there are no cabins available with dogs on the spanish route ,he came over on the plymouth santandre route.he camps on route,the ferry over only requied a lat flow test,think he is mad myself but takes all types

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

AFAIK, all French camp-sites require a Pass Sanitaire. Has he checked what camp-sites on his route are actually open this time of year?

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

sorry seem to always leave out bits ,He wild camps

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

Oh dear, he does know that this is strengst verboten in France? Not to mention that the weather won't be kind to him or his dog? For example, here in the South, there's been night frost since before Christmas, but the temperature's up a bit now, and it's drizzly rain this morning....
He's lucky to have a friend who is enquiring on the France forum on his behalf. Hope he's taking all our info on board!;)

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

yes i am trying to give him as much info as i can as he,has no direct info via internet,he has a little bit of if you dont worry about it it wont happen,annoys the hell out of me

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

Well, we've given all the useful info that we can, we'll just have to wish him all the best! (But I can't help worrying about the dog in that trailer in bad weather...:()

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

@ santaanita - I wouldn't be worrying about a complete stranger if it weren't for his dog in a bicycle trailer in the Winter! Can you give an up-date on his progress, if only for other potential non-vaccinated cyclists (or drivers) on their way "home" to the UK via France?

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

sorry for delay in reply internet problem,afraid he has already left so i cant contact him on route,he has given himself 6 weeks to reach Dieppe.

Re: double jab certificate to enter france from spain
 

Fingers crossed that the present flooding in S.W. France has dried out by the time he gets there....:fingerscrossed:
