My wife and I registered with the ‘new online platform’ to give details of the location of our self isolation.
The website was definitely not done on a 80 billion budget…At the port, they said they wanted both of the 6 year old and 1 year old registered on the website, despite being exempt from quarantine due to age.
Did it online on the boat, the website and generated paperwork was different.French border control didn’t scan or look at the kids paperwork as it was unnecessary.
When the Gendarme turned up, they were asking after the kids, and didn’t have paperwork on their system about both my wife and I.
French paperwork stereotypes are real.

Similar but 'with Alsatians' rather than 'wearing masks' is how I was woken up from a nap at CDG airport after finishing Paris-Brest-Paris on about 8h sleep over 5 days. I was sleeping in the terminal overnight as I knew that if I'd gone to the nearby hotel I'd booked I would never have woken in time for my flight. The earlier set of police had said it was fine to sleep there if I had proof that I had an early flight the next day but the officers that woke me up weren't convinced by the documentation I showed them, until I realised it was the details of my flight TO France 5 or 6 days before and not the homeward bound flight that morning. All sorted once I'd showed them the right bit of paper, although I didn't sleep very soundly after that.
