Show goes on for French holidays in summer like no other amidst Covid-19

SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE - French resorts and holiday destinations are buzzing at the height of the season despite the pandemic but, with foreigners staying away and the shadow of the coronavirus looming large, this is no ordinary summer.

There are foreign visitors from neighbouring countries but the absence of tourists from further afield is the most marked difference, said senior municipal official Georges Giraud. "We are doing better than last summer, our port is almost full every evening, however we have fewer yachts and more boats under 40 metres," he said.

More bad news came this week when the British government imposed 14-day quarantine on travellers from France, which is likely to reduce the number of UK visitors to just a trickle.
