We leave next week for France, and at this time, we will still need a negative Covid test to return to the US. Has anyone had any experience getting a Covid test in France? Our last stop is Avignon, and that's where we'll need to obtain a negative Covid test. Our daughter has had extensive surgery on her nose, and really hates the thought of having a nasal swab. Hoping to hear your experience, and wondering if salivary testing is widespread.

Cheers!

Not sure if it is widespread. This URL tells you where you can get tests and there is a tick box for salivary testing but there are not many results for your area.

nasal swab is no big deal.... they don't shove it up to the back of your brain... at least they're not supposed to, and the several tests I had did not. But, you never know what mood the lab tech will be in that day, or if you can swab yourself.

Just about an hour ago ThePointsGuy published a story by one of their contributors about his testing experience
