  • I would consider having a test, being ready to isolate and take one or quarantine a restriction. On the other hand, some of these rules seem to target specifically air transport.

  • I also have some doubt the form is actually required. It certainly wasn't on Thalys back in early June (granted, this is a trip between two Schengen country but at the time the rules were much stricter and even covered travel within the Schengen area).

  • @Relaxed OP's arriving from the UK, not US (the suggested ambiguity doesn't exist). Self-isolation is only recommended in France, not required, and the test only required if arriving from certain countries, not including EU/Schengen/UK. And I just spoke to the DCPAF via e-mail; the form is required at the external border, though not the first page if arriving from Bulgaria/Croatia/Cyprus/Ireland/Romania/UK

  • That's not what diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/… suggests. For example, the authorities do have the power to mandate tests one month after a stay in risk areas, meanwhile the form is only required (according to the ministry) for air transport, not entry per se. That the DCPAF would suggest otherwise does nothing to clarify the matter but only underline how much ambiguity there is in all this.

    Clearly I cannot imagine that “en provenance“ (let's not overinterpret a translation) doesn't cover someone who merely transited in the UK. So where is the threshold? Only one day sounds like a loophole, a 10 or 14-day quarantine seems like a reasonable threshold but it is not clarified anywhere and, for other closely related purposes, the relevant threshold in one month. So I am not sure how you manage to convince yourself the rules are clear and unambiguous.
