Food etc in caravan to France?
Discussion
I know it is a long time away , but as this year’s holiday in UK is imminent , we start thinking of next year , our favourite place is the Dordogne with our caravan .
So we are thinking of the food for travel and the restrictions importing dairy and meat into France , what are the French like at checking the food store in a caravan , would contraband like milk and ham for lunch en route be sniffed out ? Would it be better to go to Cite Europe and stock up as soon as we cross the channel
Another thing we do is to prepare a large flask of hot milky coffee for breaks on the road , again ,contraband ?
Tinned dog food ?
We are ready for the animal health cert cost and , driving licence / insurance , and since I started composing this last week and had a pacemaker implanted , health insurance hike .

Thanks for the replies, food (ha ha ) for thought . Our normal routine , interrupted by the pandemic, was to take supplies for the journey and the first one or two days .
Usually large flask of milky coffee , homemade quiche for lunch and later ,cooked salmon cutlets for first overnight , usually in Chartres, and a couple of steaks for first night in Dordogne , this as well as milk ,butter , bacon .ham etc .
Once we are settled we then shop for more fresh food to fill two portable fridges we also carry .
Still, things could change over the next year and it is back to Cornwall again , who knows !
