France travel warning issued to anyone from UK going on holiday

Families planning to travel to France during the half term holidays are being warned of fuel shortages in the country.

Garages across France have been running dry, with more than a quarter having no supplies of at least one type of fuel. It comes after strikes at French refineries have tightened supply and led to queuing at forecourts.

As of midday on Monday, of the more than 11,100 fuel stations in France, 2,093 were completely out of fuel and 1,101 had run out of one type of fuel, according to the AA. The shortages could cause headaches for families heading south from the UK during the October school half term break.
