And we weren't in Paris either. In reality YMMV, but in the week we spent going around the CDC card was not rejected once.
On-topic: at the time, France did not require an entry test. But at check-in in STL the agents were clueless about what was needed to get into France beyond a vax record. They tried to get me to sign an attestation which literally said "for unvaccinated persons". Ultimately I convinced them i'd sort it at the gate in ATL and they gave me my boarding pass.
I've had co-workers denied access to restaurants without EU PASS. If business is willing to take risk I guess they can accept CDC card. However the rules say need a scannable EU Pass. If not you're supposed to get a PCR test every couple (3 I think) days.
