People in Spain, Italy, France and Germany would all prefer travellers from other counties over those from the UK.
Ouch - hope that doesnât spread to the Morbihan.
ISTR Macron saying that the focus would be on local measures (as in the UK) - anyone know if they have tightened up in FinistĂšre?
Seems to me to be rather odd that some people who wear a mask seem to think that it provides total protection to such an extent that they are then happy to be greeting their friends by kissing on the cheek (bisous).
Also interesting to see the conduct of clients of the bar across the street from my house, which being Friday night, is of course still open and going strong at the time of writing (1.45am).
The more alcohol is drunk the less the masks are worn (the proprietor included).
Also seems that for some, having a mask draped around the neck is a license to urinate in the street.
Perhaps an additional route to infection protection would be to force bars to close at a reasonable time (say 11pm) in order to prevent excessive alcohol consumption that sends the rules about masks straight out of the window.
Chance would be a fine thing round here, where everywhere itâs shutters closed and lights out at 2130. 
Covid19 survivors phoned into LBC earlier today to describe the after effects. Like the initial symptoms there were differences,but the most common seemed to be extreme fatigue and brain fog, one lady needed to write down all she wanted to say! It seemed that most of these people contracted Covid during the start of the Pandemic.
PS. I am seeing far too many masks carelessly discarded 
Itâs a gamble. Can the tourism industry make enough money to survive the winter without killing too many locals? Not a good start. . . . . .

Mixture of relief and sadness as I shopped in Leclerc at lunchtime today.
Relief that everyone was wearing masks so I could stand down the coronavirus police in my head - no need to be constantly on the alert for some maskless idiot appearing out of nowhere.
Sad that this wasnât all implemented four months ago.
And deep profound sadness that man/womankind has reached this sorry state. Epidemiologists and environmentalists have been saying for years that this was on the horizon and theirs has been a lone voice crying in the wilderness.
By the way, James Lovelock is 101 this month - looking really good and still writing.

Our commune has previously issued 5 or 6 cloth masks (free)to every residentâŠ
This Monday, I spoke with all the Brits in our Commune.
Everyone still has the cloth masks (thanks very much) and some had bought other sorts (disposable) at shops or pharmacies or wherever.
There are still bales of cloth waiting to be transformed⊠so that everyone will receive another deliveryâŠ
Iâve heard that anyone who has need for a âspecialâ mask ⊠either already has them or will have them soon⊠but I know no more than thatâŠ
Yes - we got ours free from our commune weeks ago.

Yes, there was quite a movement of mask-making⊠great funâŠ
Iâve been guarding the large pair of scissors I was given to use, as well as the templates âŠ
Mmm⊠all I have to do is remember where I put them for safety⊠
I think itâs worth noting the possibility that Cloth Masks are NOT acceptable on planes⊠saw it somewhere on the News todayâŠ
so, anyone intending to fly⊠be prepared⊠I think itâs the surgical grades of mask which are OKâŠ
Seuls les masques chirurgicaux FFP1 ou de type FFP2 ou FFP3 doivent ĂȘtre portĂ©s Ă bord de nos avions par les passagers de plus de 11 ans

Typical English arroganceâŠ
A FB post from an English business in France local to us: A customer waltzes up to the shop entrance without a mask to be told by the proprietor that he must wear a mask to enter the shop - his response? «I ainât wearing no mask! I donât have one with me» No problem says proprietor, I can sell you one for 95 centimes⊠«I ainât buying no masks» and storms off!
Proprietor wonders which shop said English idiot is going to try next without one to buy whatever it was he wanted

Did you buy the house before the bar was established?
What place are they the face mask obligatory I donât really understand it I now shops but not in bars and restaurants? Because they are all packed around here now no one has one on a friend is down in Cannes went to this car show thingy showed me pictures of the packed stands with at least 500 people on it close together and no one had a face mask the local police where there handled security and no one got a ticket for nor having a mask on so what is the point of this if there is no risk of a fine? Myself I have it one every time I go in to town donât have a problem Wearing one
@Nigel1 Iâm not quite sure how your question is relevant to the issue of mask wearing, but Iâll give you the answer anyway.
When we came here 17 yrs ago the Cafe was privately owned and closed by 8.30pm at the latest.
Since then it has changed hands 4 times whilst successive operators have gone bust. Now it is owned by the Mairie / Commune and is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights as it is only by keeping such hours that they stand any chance of making any sort of profit.
