Covid-19: Quarantine-free travel from France resumes as UK rules change
Fully vaccinated people can now visit France without quarantining on SLOTXO their return to the UK, after travel rule changes came into force at 04:00 BST.
Brittany Ferries said it had received a "surge" of bookings following the rule changes announced on Thursday.
But travel agents said the relaxation of quarantine for one of the UK's most popular destinations came "too late to save the summer".
Meanwhile, travellers in Mexico had to rush back to avoid hotel quarantine.
Under the latest changes to the UK's traffic light system for travel, the rules have been relaxed for a dozen countries.
France moved from its own amber-plus category on to the amber list, which means children and fully vaccinated passengers do not have to quarantine on their return, although unvaccinated travellers still have to self-isolate at home for 10 days.
It comes as the UK recorded 27,429 new Covid cases on Sunday, as well as 39 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
Sunday's data means that after a consistent fall since mid-July, the weekly total of cases has shown a slight increase over the previous seven days, of 1.9%.
Among those to benefit from the rule changes is Emma Wood, who lives in Laon, France. Her parents, from Northallerton, North Yorkshire, are planning to visit France next week to meet Emma's six-month-old daughter for the first time.
"We're so pleased but we daren't get our hopes up until they're here," she said. "They were going to come before but then they introduced the new amber-plus list."
She said she usually saw her parents five or six times a year but had not seen them in more than 12 months.
"My mum has been desperate to see her granddaughter," she added.
