Morocco is one of the favorite destinations of many French retirees who spend a good part of the year there. It is now difficult for them to travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Morocco ranks 3rd in the top 3 of the flagship destinations for French retirees.
Blocked in their motorhome for more than two months in Morocco, Christian, 70, and Josiane, 71, two Ploufraganais residing in Val-André, have managed to board a boat in Tangier to reach Marseille.
A retired couple from Luzech find themselves stuck in a 10m² motorhome not far from Tangier for more than two months. After several attempts, Yves, 80, and Fernande, 75, hope to reach Genoa on June 1st.
Leaving Eaunes near Toulouse in February, Michel and Elisabeth are among the retirees stranded in a campsite in Mirhleft, 150 kilometers south of Agadir on the shores of the ocean. Without any response on a possible repatriation, these campers are just waiting for June 10, the day of the gradual deconfinement of Morocco, to return home.
Confined to a motorhome area in Taroudant, Morocco since March 20, Monique and Michel Hovart express concerns about the heat, insecurity and their repatriation. The couple plans to board a ship to reach Charente-Maritime via Spain, which has been difficult so far due to the repeated cancellation of their reservation tickets.
For more than a month, Christian and Bernadette Garroui have been waiting to return to Laval (in Mayenne). But it is almost impossible, given the preventive measures taken by the Moroccan authorities to fight against the coronavirus. It is a tradition for the couple to come and spend three months in Morocco every year.
A retired couple from Champfleur (Sarthe) is stuck in Morocco since the implementation of the lockdown in the kingdom. Their release will only come with the lifting of the lockdown measure.
