Looks like French travel restrictions on UK residents may be lifted this weekend. (We live in hope!)

Not sure you can do it in February, the French suspension of the transit rule could well be time limited - "over the New Year period " according to Sky News
France appears to be softening its stance on transit journeys

Apparently the French Foreign Ministry say there is no ban on UK citizens who are resident in the EU from transiting France but people have been turned back by French Border Staff at Folkestone (Eurotunnel).
Could be miscommunication with Border Staff .... or just the French having a go at bashing the Brits as there is an election coming up in 2022

Hope you made the trip.
BBC announced today that France is preventing Brits that live in EU from driving through France.
Seems to be about EU Brits not be allowed back into France from uk.
Details a bit confused at present (08.00am GMT)
I don't think that there are any special checks between Italy and France
However, assuming you are in a UK registered car, the automatic number plate system may flag up that you're a Brit, and you could get pulled over just to check you've been in Europe long enough to avoid any speciaL requirements for UK citizens entering France.
( If you're in an Italian registered car, I wouldn't expect any stop at all,,)
Hope so - I was planning for the end of January, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen now.
At least we got over in November.
The problem is that France is banning entry to UK citizens from 11pm Friday.
Getting to Italy by road would mean completely avoiding France.
Useful, if you lose the passport- should ease things getting help at the embassy.
I also carry photocopy of Driving Licence.
