My turn to be confused about a technicality. When it comes to mandatory tests, all official documents refer to "travellers coming from EU+ countries".
Does it mean that if I book a dispatch ticket CDG->AMS->CDG, then on another booking an AMS->MEX->AMS, I would be allowed to enter France without a test given that I will enter France from the Netherlands?
There is no mention of a form that would sum up past travels for the past XX days... which seems strange and illogical, but would not be a first.

Previously, you were able to do MEX-AMS-CDG on the same ticket without being tested. You don't even have to do the effort to buy the "risk country" itinerary on another ticket to exploit this loophole.

Did GIG-AMS-CDG and MEX-AMS-CDG in septembre, wasn't tested. Was asked by the french border force where I was coming from, said Mexico City the second time, no test, and no more questions asked

They test only direct arrival from "risk countries", when the french airport is your final destination. Even if you do MEX-CDG-MAD you wont be tested.

And the most stupid thing that I think I saw last time (to be verified), is that you are not tested if transiting to a third airport in France. For instance GRU-CDG-NCE you won't be tested.

That's how it was last months. What more can you expect from this government when you have such stupid measures ? Germany mandatory testing and quarantine from high risk country (France being included in the list of course), is, once again, way more efficient and coherent.
