Well they do, when it comes to this section of their economy. The same way the EU needs us more than we need them when it comes to financial services.

Spain has also joined France in indicating they will petition the EU to change the 90 day rule for Brits.

I dont really see why they wouldnt. It doesnt bestow any rights behind having a long holiday, which is beneficial to the EU.

This is what the new relationship is going to be, UK/EU amending rules as problems arise. Mutually beneficial will likely get approved, horse trading for the others.

Sure. The harm to the French economy really has been more than the harm to the UK economy.

France has given a boost to British nationals who own holiday homes in the country as it looks to relax its post-Brexit 90-day visa rule.

Politicians have said British owners of French homes had been 'punished by Brexit', with the law limiting how long they could stay to 90 days out of every 180. In order to stay longer, Britons must apply for a long-stay visa of up to six months.

Now, the country's senate has voted through an amendment to the immigration law that will give British second homeowners the automatic right to a long-stay visa.

who knew?
