  • The text is very confusing and seems to mix up entry rules, public health recommendation, EU health certificate validity issues, and rules on restricted activities inside the country. Just above this paragraph, you will find this “Ne pas avoir encore effectué votre rappel de vaccination ne vous empêche pas de rentrer en France.” Many other documents also imply that a test is required in any case to enter France from nearly every country in the world.

  • @Relaxed my understanding is that “Ne pas avoir encore effectué votre rappel de vaccination ne vous empêche pas de rentrer en France.” is the old text. And technically is still correct with a covid test or below age 18, so they may have gotten lazy and kept it. But I agree it's a mess. I'm happy not to have to deal with the French bureaucracy anymore. Commented Feb 10, 2022 at 8:57
  • That doesn't quite make sense to me. In most cases, a Covid test has been mandatory for quite some time, even if you are vaccinated. Vaccination makes a difference regarding the purpose of travel (régime des motifs impérieux) and quarantine or testing obligations after you arrive but is not mandatory to enter (and cannot be replaced by a test).

    You're interpretation was correct, the Interior ministry's website is much clearer and confirms it.
