Unless it has changed in the last few days, but worth doing anyway as it is free, complete the EU Digital Passenger Locator Form as you are flying into France.
Hopefully travel between the UK and the EU will be sorted. However because of what is perceived as an anti-Uk stance by the EU politicians, I am hearing that more and more people are intending to stay in the UK for their vacation. That will be a shame as the tourist "hot spots" will continue to...
I always think that I don't care about socialising but I loved the Camino for exactly that reason, people happy to see you, shouting out to call you into a bar as you walked past.

I did my first Camino last year thankfully before the problems of this year. I walked the Camino Frances as I do like a long walk and coming from England I wanted to make the journey worthwhile! Whilst aged 72 at the time I have walked a long, 200-630 mile walks, once a year for some years...
