This is under the heading of "French people abroad" though. They already have French passports and French health care numbers. So it might not be rolled out for tourists in the same way.

Or... you will do what?

AIUI, the hotel is incorrect with respect to entry into the hotel. The pass will be required for restaurants (including the restaurant part of the hotel) but not for the accommodation part of the hotel.

Some more info on the situation. It’s in French, but you know what to do :)

I would have at least pursued it with my credit card company for the hotel taking my money but denying me any products or services in return.


But they replied that the CDC card will be fine.

However, I'm prepared to try to get a pass sanitaire if it is possible to do so online as some are predicting.

I'm also resigned to the likelihood of having to take a test, with the data presented by the CDC today that vaccinated people are as infectious as unvaccinated people when it comes to the delta variant.

Louvre, Eiffel, Cattacombs
 

Quick update. Was able to get into Louvre today using CDC. Also dropped by the pharmacy noted by opera and was able to get QR code and used it to go to catacombs. In any case, would suggest the opera pharm. Sure it's 20 euros, but was a no hassle experience. They saw our CDC card, put us in line with about 8 other people and with card and passport walked out with QR code. In any case, official now so rest of trip no need to debate if somewhere will take CDC card..

Exp, when do you arrive in France/hotel?

September.

I think it's safe to say quite a lot will change, for better or for worse, in the next 5 weeks

Sure and, on top of that, the French article referenced above only applies to French citizens resident in the US. The French official used as the basis for the article is (according to Google) the deputy heading up the legislative committee on French citizens resident in Canada and the US. It does look, however, as though the IT solution being worked on -- at the Quai d'Orsay -- should apply to everyone vaccinated in the US regardless of citizenship. His piles of sweet, sugary words then end with the following bit of saccharine aftertaste : "Roland Lescure hopes that 'the measures [IT solution] will be clear in the next week,'" i.e., the week the whole scheme goes live. Really?

"Hopes"? What on earth sort of confidence-inspiring word is that? And what about the missing sentence, the thing nobody can bring themselves to say, en claire, and in plain words of one syllable? You know, "Well, it would be unthinkable to go live without something in place for US visitors." So I'll go ahead and say it myself. And I still wouldn't cancel anything.

Early Sept for me as well. Yes lots will be finalized by then. I’m hoping by Monday we will have more concrete info actually. We shall see.

Well just our luck. Went to the pharmacy by the Opera, and were told the bad news. The French government sent out a message on Friday to all pharmacies to stop converting CDC cards to the Healthpass due to fraudulent CDC card concerns. The only way they can now legally convert it is with a offical letter from the US embassy stating that the CDC card has been verified by them and is genuine.

We just ended up getting a rapid test (25 euro per person) since we are going to the Louvre tomorrow. This really sucks as the US embassy has no way to verify your CDC card, but we will check on Monday to see if they will vouch for it regardless.

I don't know if this helps but in Calif. and some other places there is an online way to print an official QR code that states vac dates, etc. This QR code will NOT help directly but it may be that if you present that to the US Embassy it would allow them to write that letter. AFAIK that info cannot be forged - so maybe.

so with a rapid test we can go to the restaurants and museums ? I have a 10 hour layover and want to make sure we are fine to eat.
