We’re in the south of France right now, visiting my father and his wife. It’s beautiful here, but very hot, and we’re taking life at a slow pace. So this will be an extremely short post.
But I did want to share a little bit about our travel experience. I tried to find similar information online before we left, but France had changed their travel rules only the week before, so there wasn’t much.
We flew out of Oakland, where we were asked if we were vaccinated, but not required to show proof. The US is currently on France’s “green light” list, meaning travelers can enter the country with proof of vaccination, and a Covid negative test is not required. We boarded our plane, transferred in LAX and then Atlanta, where we boarded our Airbus to CDG. At no point were we asked to show our vaccination cards.
Arriving in CDG, we were finally asked to show our passports and vaccination cards. Currently France accepts Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J vaccinations. We showed our vaccination cards and passports, and that was it. No questions, no temperature checks.
So overall, an extremely easy process.
Just wanted to share that information for fellow travelers. Though obviously things are still changing rapidly. With the Delta variant on the rise in the US, we could easily end up back on the “amber light” list, where a negative Covid test is required.
Safe travels, and please get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Yeah, the side effects suck, but they’re almost always over within a day or two.
