Thanks for your replies my intention for this year was to go as far as Estonia ? I didn't really want to put it off any longer also there was the question about travel insurance as at the beginning of the epidemic it appeared as though it was not possible to purchase any.
Got cooking dinner so I didn’t verify ... hence saying that our neighbour told me. I’ve just looked and can’t see anything to confirm closure either. Sorry if I worried anyone.I’ve just checked a variety of European news agencies and government websites and cannot find any statements to the effect that France has closed it’s borders with Spain. I’ll stand corrected if anyone can provide evidence.
