We have taken to using our daily,hourly, walk to pop into Clare's for any shopping we need . En-route yesterday we were met by a couple of Gendarmes who were stopping traffic at the junction at the road to Lesigny and checking that they had their necessary paperwork. We were also stopped and had to show our own attestations. I really don't have a problem with this as controls are necessary during this difficult time...but it did feel surreal! I do wonder how they can cover small villages like Barrou and can only imagine they must have some rota system in place so we may not see them again for some time! One disconcerting aspect of being stopped was that the female Gendarme who stopped us had no PPE at all and we had to be at arm's length to show our parerwork!
They must have good eyesight to be able to read paperwork at 2 mtrs + I would be tempted to print it with a small font Ha Ha... Stay Safe.
