New travel regulations, uk to France
My wife is due to fly to France from London on 3rd June. I am resident in France, freshly CdS'd. My wife is a UK resident, fiscally registered in Uk. In normal times ( remember them ? ) she spends half her time in UK and half in our house in France. I take regular trips for short breaks when she is in London where she has been since December. She works in London when she is there. I've looked at the list of Motifs Imperieux. The key one for us is " married couple of whom one is established abroad for professional reasons". Now strictly speaking the reason for staying in London for the time being is not straightforward. It's a mixture of Brexit complications, young grandchildren, an aged mother to name a few. However, she has also continued her long-term self-employed work in London.
So the bottom line is, is this clearly within the definition I've mentioned above or , for instance, is it designed for professionals on short term contracts out of France ? I can't find any further clarification of the phrase or what justacatif may be required. Anyone want to weigh in on this ? Thanks
And, not sure it makes a difference but she has an Irish passport.

Re: New travel regulations, uk to France
Is this a brand new list of motifs impérieux announced since yesterday, that you've looked at? Because AFAIK motifs impérieux haven't been a thing for a month or so. Since April (I think) up until the brand new quarantine requirement, France had no particular restrictions on UK residents entering France beyond a negative PCR test and 7 days' quarantine "on your honour", and obviously complying with curfew and French Covid rules whilst here. But you didn't need to give a reason for coming to France..
However I haven't seen details of the yesterday's announcement.

Re: New travel regulations, uk to France
I was looking at a list on the local which has several " extra reasons" indicated , one of which I have quoted above. You are right though that there appears to be no updated list yet on the official sites.Hopefully they will make an announcement quickly as our situation is a bit pressing.
