Hi Coach Man,
We are currently in Normandy, been here since Sunday 2nd.
No evidence of any shortages of fuel, just filled up this morning and paid €1.75 litre for diesel.
Tomorrow we make our way to Saumur in the Loire Valley, I will keep you updated as to the situation in that region if it will be of help.
Speaking to the locals, they don’t think there will be a problem, they expect the government to cave in in the short term.
Lets hope their right 🤞🏻

Good to hear. We’ve a ferry crossing to Bilbao booked for early June, and the plan is to meander over to the French Pyrenees and catch a stage of the Tour de France.
If there’s a problem with fuel in France, we’ll have to stay in Spain, no hardship though 🙂.

Spoke to my brother who lives in Brittany and he states that the shortages are mainly restricted to city areas, with about 20% of refineries being targeted. He has had no problems finding diesel and hasn't heard of anyone else having problems.
Just keep the tank topped up as you go along.
