I think you need to get in touch with the French border police for guidance. This sounds to be a very specific case, where you want to hear it from the horses mouth.

I need to know if someone without any special permission ( like French Gov't approved) can go and what is required to board a flying from US to France. A friend who is an American who grew up in France is in failing health and would like to return to France where her siblings can take care for her. She has a US passport, a French SSecurity #, and so far we can not find any other French documents. Her sister has dual citizenship and will be traveling with her as she would not be able to navigate travel on her own.
This does not seem like the type of situation where you should be soliciting feedback from an online forum.

A consulate is nice, but the final decision on entry rests with the border police. A consulate will not give you a definitive yes or no.

My friend has dementia, so she relies on family & friends to help. The US and French embassies & consulates have been contacted and have not responded yet. A solution was asked from someone's possible experience. That's why I posted in the forum . My question was if someone has flown from "Florida to Paris recently"? I was asked for more details and I presented them. Last I checked, Flyer Talk is where travelers can ask for the advice of others that may have experienced, or have knowledge of, an issue, or so it was when Randy started it in 1998.

The US State Department will be of zero help; a French consular officer can give you guidance, but , as I said, the decision rests with the border police. There is a thread in the France forum with an email address, I believe.

I hope your friend is able to travel, but the last thing you should be doing is risking the health, money and time of an elderly person by taking the advice of someone from a message board about their own personal anecdote as it pertains to traveling during these times.

Your friend’s situation is way more complicated than just needing a Covid-19 test for a government-allowed visit. You’re talking about residency-related issues and more for a person of limited mental capacity. I wouldn’t dare to fly such a person in the absence of something from the French Government that would make it clear the person is admissible into France at the current time and will be expeditiously treated as such on arrival at CDG passport control.
Correction: I got pictures of my relative seated on the flight to Germany (instead of France) for the work visit to France and was informed that no one had asked for the test results to check-in and board as the French government letter/notice about coming to France for a French government-approved work visit was enough. I’ll hear more later today about arrival and the LH flight itself from the US and the hop to CDG.

This discussion indeed has never been about tourist visits to France. The French Covid19 test requirement for US citizens’ trips to France is not about US tourist visits to France; it’s for other kinds of US visitors to France.

So she is a French citizen? You didn’t say that originally. A French citizen is always admissible.

Thanks for your concern about my friend's mental status and getting into France, she is not completely cognitively impaired, only the beginning for a 63 yr old. . She will be traveling with two family members with dual US/French citizenship. The friend in addition to her US passport & SS card, has a French social security card, expired French passport ( we've started the renewal ) & French ID card. Just posted in case someone has flown from the US to France and wanted to know their experience.
Thanks for sharing your relatives experience so far.

About the Covid-19 test that my relative took for a US-France work trip yesterday -- with arrival at CDG earlier today -- while in possession of a French government invitation/letter applicable for the trip, no one -- neither the airline, nor the German authorities nor the French authorities -- asked for the US-taken Covid-19 test to be presented for this visit. The relative flew LH F and is now in the Paris hotel room being isolated for 24 hours while awaiting the results of an administered Covid-19 test in France itself.

Does anyone understand exactly the deal with Malta? Seems like Americans can get in if they were in a "green" country for 14 days prior, and transit through a "green" corridor country. But what if the corridor country is in Schengen? Can we transit, or will the intermediary country (say Italy, most likely) deny entry into Schengen?

Is it? I thought the only Schengen state that was open to American tourists was Malta. But trying to figure out how to get there without transiting Schengen (I'm in a non-Schengen "green" country now.)

Several Schengen states exempt passengers from border restrictions if they arrive from within the EU, even if they are not EU nationals. Italy, France, Sweden and Netherlands are few that come to my mind.
