What you need to know about checking into France in all the channel ports

This is the address list for the various forms required by both British and French authorities: https://www.spcr.homeoffice.gov.uk/register (To register with UK customs/Border Force) https://www.spcr.homeoffice.gov.uk/sign-in (To sign in and depart or arrive UK) calais.plaisance@edeis.com (Calais) contact@boulogne-marina.fr (Boulogne sur mer) https://portdedieppe.fr/contact/ (Dieppe) Check with marina office for information about customs clearance... portchantereyne@cherbourg.fr (Cherbourg) http://www.gentlesailing.com/ (to download French Marina arrival form – scroll down to near bottom of the page – FRENCH MARINA EMAIL FORM FOR FRENCH CUSTOMS) I have just found a French List and whilst Dieppe is a port of entry and there is some connection with French Customs it is NOT part of the French online system of advanced email notification. This means you would need to travel to find customs on arrival and for departure. Check with the Dieppe Marina Capitainerie.....

Shortly I will be heading back to Europe for the summer and these are my preparations for leaving the boat out here in the Caribbean for the next few months.
