French holiday bookings have jumped after Paris said it would ease restrictions on UK travellers, travel firms have said.

Airline Jet2 said it had seen a "sharp" rise in bookings and searches for flights to French skiing destinations.

And Tour operator Tui said ski bookings doubled on Wednesday following reports the rules would change.

Many UK holidaymakers had to cancel holidays when France banned all but essential travel last month.

But from Friday, vaccinated Britons will no longer need a compelling reason to enter France or self-isolate when they arrive.

They will only need to present a negative Covid-19 test taken 24 hours before leaving the UK.

Miss the tourism income AND the taxes paid on it, eh?

Ah, epidemiology.
