Stay safe!
This is from the British Embassy in Paris
Good morning,
We wanted to draw you attention to a few changes around the attestation or self-certificate system for going out.
1. First, the Ministry of Interior has now published an *UPDATED Attestation Form* for essential journeys on their website.
You can find it here: https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du...
Or, if you’re having difficulty accessing it on the MoI site, we’ve uploaded it and an English translation here:

2. Second, the French government have issued further instructions about essential journeys and the attestation form:
a. You will now need to add the time you are going out, in addition to the date
b. Online certificates, i.e. downloaded on to your mobile phone, are not valid. Instead they must be printed or handwritten.
c. If you are going out for some exercise, you should: stay within 1km of your home; not stay out longer than an hour; only go out once per day. You should not go out in groups or practice team sports, but you may go out for a walk with someone living in your household.
d. Outings for medical care have been restricted to "urgent care, appointments and care that cannot take place remotely", in addition to getting care for chronic diseases, such as diabetes.
e. The same restrictions remain in place for food shopping, but the ability to leave the house “to purchase supplies that are indispensable to professional activity” has been added. Outings to withdraw cash are also considered a première nécessité or “basic need”.
f. Responding to administrative and judicial summons have also been added to the list of essential journeys.
g. Joining a community activity, if asked by your administrative authority
Third, there is an *UPDATED Professional Justificatif* for people who need to regularly travel to work. It lists the type of work you do, where you work, how you travel to work, and how long the work is expected to last. Your employer will need to fill it in and use a company stamp to sign it off. You can access the new document here https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du... or

3. Finally, we wanted to remind you of the fines in place for not having the correct papers. The police carried out 375,000 checks on Sunday alone, so it is important to ensure you have the right attestation and ID on you. The fine for a first offence is 135 Euros, but rising to 375 Euros if unpaid. If you commit the same offence twice within a two-week period, you could be fined 1500 Euros. If you commit multiple offences within a 30-day period, you could be liable for 3700 Euro fine and up to six months in prison.
The best advice is to limit yourself to journeys of utmost necessity and avoid meeting up with anyone outside your immediate household. Hand washing remains the most effective way of stopping the spread of the virus. And if you do fall ill, remember to stay at home whilst you seek medical advice over the phone or from your local doctor. If your temperature rises further or you have breathing difficulties, call the SAMU ambulance service on 15, or the European emergency number 112 if you need an English-speaking operator.

thanks, shopping by bike it is then..
Obviously still at home and not working,so this morning I applied for the €1,500 aid called
' le Fonds de solidarity'
I'm an auto entrepreneur in the building trade.
The conditions were that my turn over had to have gone down by 50% in March this year compared to March last year.
When you think about that's not to difficult to achieve seeing as I only worked a very short time in March this year.
I will update when I know anything.

Is there a scheme in place similar to the UK re wages?
I"m currently in my first week of 80% pay, would have been first week back at work, and currently planning on staying until 14-15th April at least so at the moment money isn't an issue.
Will trades/ workers start suffering long term or even short, monetary issues and start pushing for a return?
Still not much signs of Gendarmes around here although they may have been busy today as the market in Le Lude was on..
I've cut back on my MTB rides, I don't want a stupid accident in the middle of nowhere and having to constantly worry about being stopped, 135euros is a tad too expensive price to pay for riding a bike
