The UK’s Cruising Association has welcomed a new protocol for small boats entering France from outside the European Union.
As of 1 June 2024, 53 marinas in France along its Channel coast now have the right to process boats both arriving into and exiting the EU/Schengen Zone.
Previously this process was restricted to a limited number of designated ports of entry (PPF).
