This is a quick Google translate from today's La Provence..

"Marseille-Provence airport had a funny surprise last Saturday. A private jet bringing ten wealthy Londoners intending to have a good time in Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) had just landed on the tarmac. Confinement obliges, the "vacationers" were turned back.

On board this aircraft, rented by a Croatian claiming to work in the field of finance and real estate, seven men from 40 to 50 years and three women from 23 to 25 years: "They came in vacation, for a stay in Cannes and three helicopters were waiting for them on the tarmac, "the head of the border police service at Marignane told AFP on Thursday. "But we told them that they were not admitted to the national territory and they left four hours later."

If the pilots of the helicopters were fined for breach of confinement, the ten travelers from London, of Romanian, French, German and Ukrainian nationality, were only forced to turn around, not being legally on French soil".
