HummmmmmâŠcall me cynical if you like 
, butâŠthe borders down here in the deep South (i.e. with Spain - Puigcerda, Vielha, La Jonquera) have, and still, remain wide open with no âcontrolsâ whatsoever. We tend to get customs patrols at the first motorway toll booths but, other than that, nothing that Iâve noticed so far. The news articles may be more of a âreassuranceâ exercise given recent events?
Hi Simon⊠they are saying that the controls, already in place, are to be continued for another 6 months (and then reviewed)⊠so if you have no controls, nothing will be changingâŠ
Yep - just a bit âoddâ that some borders are tighter than others. Pretty straightforward for âanyoneâ already in Spain to cross into France totally unseen.
Our daughter had to wait ages to get through controls at Lyon airport and she was coming from an EU. country Germany.
Anyway, there willl be almost permanent controls whilst everone is on strike.
I thought there was supposed to be equality in France, but as usual some are more equal than others.
The cheminots should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
