I need help with the new rules.

Ive sunk about £600 into travel arrangements to be in France with my mum at Christmas, but then these new rules...

They state "children of French citizens" are still allowed to travel. Does this extend to children of French residents?

Id really appreciate some help, or guidance on where i can go for info as im supposed to be travelling Tuesday and it would be gutting to be unable to go :-/

Presume you are travelling from UK?

Official info here

https://uk.ambafrance.org/COVID-19-rules-for-trave...

and here

https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du...

(it would appear the second link hasn't yet updated in line with this morning's announcement)

I was also booked for Tuesday but managed to change my flight to tomorrow - can you not do the same?

Another option may be to fly to Belgium or Germany or Switzerland or Italy or Spain, dependant where your mum lives, and have her pick you up there.

No

We are in a similar position as our daughter cannot now travel from the UK to see us.

It sucks, but it is what it is.
