A few more tips

In Paris you notice numerous signs offering tests. They read things like "COVID-19 Dépistage" (screening) or "COVID-19 Test." If you see a sign over a tent that is not in front of a hospital, do not waste your time unless you are a part of the French healthcare system ("Securité Social") as unless you need your account number for billing. Otherwise, go to a pharmacy where they will take cash or your credit card for an amount typically around €25. You will need a smartphone but at the pharmacy where I went, they had spares. The app asked for your phone number. We have French (Orange) accounts so I don't know if they send to American numbers. We got the result by text which required, IIRC, two factor authorization. We saved everything as PDFs and had paper copies printed just in case.

Also, someone up thread provided excellent information about installing the Pass Sanitaire on the Apple Watch. (I thanked him there.) Many establishments are stunned when I show them my watch.

Will pharmacies verify an Italian PCR or antigen test so we can get the QR code? We're traveling from Italy and going to Disneyland Paris the next day and would prefer not to have to pay for another COVID test. Or do we have to email the result to the French Health department and wait for a code?

It is what the current situation is, like where to get the test, how soon to get the result, whether the result is sent by email or by text (no french cell phone), things of such nature.

Actual recent experiences of course given the fluid nature of the Covid things.

NCE Airport pharmacy testing

Has anyone used the NCE airport pharmacy for PCR or Antigen testing recently? Is it reliable (in terms of results delivery time) and are there usually long waits for the testing?

Thanks in advance!
