Macron has said that it is a gesture more than anything because Spain and the UK are restricting the French freedoms when they enter their countries.

I know I'm always waiting with bated breath to hear from you
I think you get respect from officials if you make their job easier, so bear that in mind.
If you are just transiting France to another country try to print out some evidences of site bookings or accomodation booking if your mates have an address in Spain if thats where you are heading.
If you are on route to Germany I can confirm that down here on the River Mosel its an invasion by motorhomes mostly German nationals and is busier than a normal June.
The good news here is you do not need to book in, there are literally hundreds of stopovers and they are never more than a few kilometers from each other.
Weather has been a bit showery last few days but the sun always comes out for a couple of hours at sunset even on the wettest days.

Yes we did our normal route through France, Belgium, Luxembourg. The FrenchSorry for late reply eurosprinter but onlyjust spotted your question.
Yes we did our normal route through France, Belgium, Luxembourg. The French bj2rder control at the tunnel in Folkestone was straightforward as we wereheading home to germany( the residency papers from our house in Germany and the French form that was needed at the time got us waved through).
On the Belgium border all trafffic was directed off at the service area and we followedthe signs to a Police Porta Cabin that was closed and borded up.
Carried on followed the signs straight back onto the motorway. At Luxembourg we did not visit the first service station as you enter prefering to do the last one to fill up with fuel as we were leaving Luxembourg. So really straightforward.
