I don’t believe that France has ever been a model for the British to follow but we’re already in a twelve week stay at home period so the French are a bit late.
I'm not too sure you can say that they are late since I said that they have extended it, they were in fact 2 weeks ahead of the UK, not only that you don't have justification certificates to allow you to go out yet where if you dont carry one you get a 135 euro fine for the first offence rising to 3200 euros or 6 months gaol for the 4th offence.
Here is the english version of the form:
