On the website of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all land borders are closed for tourists. But nice to hear some news

Foreign Government websites are usually useless. Outdated and incorrect info is more common than not.

They are closed for two years now, regime has been extended to end of March when decision will be made as to what next. It was extended during omicron panic which fizzled to nothingburger, so fingers crosses authorities will change their minds in a month.

Whilst the ferry is operational, it's not open for foreigners at this time.
