Thread: CDG Drops COVID Restrictions but...Cases are Rising.

You do not need the "pass vaccinal" anymore but it seems that if you not have the booster shot you still need a PCR or antigen test to board a flight if I a not mistaking

Negative. Only on the return to the US.

For visitors from green countries, which currently includes the US, France does require a negative covid test if you are not current on your vaccination “A vaccination certificate is considered valid when entering France if the document proves that the holder has completed primary vaccination within the last nine months or has received a booster shot.”

For the unvaccinated, “Unvaccinated persons reaching France from a green country can either present a valid recovery certificate or a negative test result that has been taken recently to be allowed restriction-free entry.”

That said, I would love to do a long weekend in Paris but am hesitant due to the return testing requirements regardless of vaccination status.

CDG Sucks. I Just connect there.

As a French I must admit, CDG is one of the worst major airport in the world. (ORY is not better).

Last September when I came back from France, I took an antigen test at a pharmacy, I paid 25 euros, the price is fixed in labs and pharmacies, and my Us insurance reimbursed me after seeing the paperwork. The cost did not change, everything related to health is very regulated specially the cost either for citizens or foreigners who do not have the health coverage. To give you an idea, once, I had a bicycle accident, damaged my hand, stayed in a hospital 24h in a single room, had an hour and 30mm surgery the bill that I had to pay out of pocket was around $2000. Living in the Us I am not eligible for the French coverage, if it god forbids, had happened to you you would have had to pay the same.
