Yes, this. The pass is European so it works across the EU (and probably the EEA). The NHS pass from England and Wales works too but you have to import it in a European app first.

And there I thought the President said he was going to improve relations with Europe.

Interesting, to say the least. Do you mind if I ask when you are going and the routing? I'm going JFK-CDG on 8/16 and all they have written me (today), was please add your passports to the "file."

There's more to international relations than tourism.

I'm sure on some level he wants to "improve relations with Europe," but at the moment, Biden's political base quite simply doesn't care about EU tourists being allowed to come to the United States. Biden cares far more about his infrastructure bill, for example, than he does about this.

Absolutely. If the EU really does want to ban American tourists due to lack of reciprocity, I really wonder what they hope to achieve. Do they not realize that Americans (both the administration & the population at large) just aren't interested? The only thing they'd do is deprive the European tourist industry of the money American tourists would spend (however much that is). If the EU drew a line in the sand over this, the White House would probably think, "Why are they making such a big deal out of something so trivial?"

My trip starts with a domestic flight and then a flight to the US. Perhaps that's why.

A little bit of good news for those unable to convert their certificates into the pass sanitaire. Media is reporting that the government has announced today that negative tests performed will now be valid for 72 hrs instead of 48 hrs originally. (It was always set for 72hrs for travel, but they extended this for all other places as well.)

Yes, you are undoubtedly right. I just had a feeling it might be better to have the French thing, France being France, just in case somewhere didn't accept any other foreign apps

Do places accept the US CDC paper card?

It looks like they just opened it up to tourists. They talk about using the form for french nationals but I cannot find the form anywhere on the embassy websites or the diplomatie site.
Can you tell me where you found the form?
Thank you

The tourist one doesn't appear to be loaded yet. The process is now clear but the application form is not yet up. Need to be traveling by Aug 15th for this batch apparently

More details

When they opened it up to French nationals a week ago, it took an hour or so for the form to become available so expect something similar here as well.

FWIW I sent in my form to the US East coast address back on Monday and never heard back.

But I don't expect to need a pass sanitaire anytime soon so I'm not stressing.
