I live in France (Dordogne). No shortages here although reported that nationally 1 in 5 petrol stations are experiencing shortages - although not evenly spread - Brittany and Marseilles area worst hit.

Also appears petrol supplies hit harder than diesel.

Brief article article here - https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/French-news/Nearly-one-in-five-French-petr........

Interactive map here - https://explore.data.gouv.fr/prix-carburants

-Choose your fuel type and click the "desactive" button - outages will appear in black. Use the "rechercher" bar top right to choose area of interest.

There are currently restrictions (until Monday) about how much fuel you can buy in the Gard and Vaucluse departments,

Could get worse before it gets better.

We hope so because we're booked to come over to England then to see family. I can usually make Caen on a full tank of diesel - but might have difficulty getting a full tank.

I came back on Monday, just a long weekend away in Amiens, but saw no sign of shortages. As an aside, petrol is quite a bit cheaper here in the UK at the moment, deisel was about the same price.
