PARIS (REUTERS) - Sam Cabral, a French expatriate living in Britain, expressed relief on Wednesday (Dec 23) as she stepped off a Eurostar train from London, becoming one of the first people to make the trip after a travel ban imposed over Covid-19 worries was eased.
"I'm very happy to be home and actually I'm going to .. go and see my mum and dad, put on a mask and give them a hug," she said on arrival at the Gare du Nord station in Paris.
Cabral recalled her reaction when she realised the ban, imposed by the French authorities late on Sunday, could torpedo her Christmas travel plans and leave her stranded in Britain, where she has no family.
