It is so nice to be back in France!
We have been am grinning from ear to ear ever since we landed in Lyon, France!
No problem at all with getting the test, just a couple of forms to complete and we were good to go. It was very hot today but I didn’t mind, I ended up walking over seven miles. The pictures I took today are still now showing up in my iPad, too tired to fix right now.

Wish I were there, I"m thinking of next Fall.
Can you explain what you mean by this sentence for future potential travelers:
No problem at all with getting the test, just a couple of forms to complete and we were good to go
What do you mean by that, did you have to get some test at the airport upon landing and you had to fill out forms to do that and the test didn't take long so that's why there was no problem? If you didn't have to take a test, was that because of some other reason that you had to show them? If that's what happened, and you had to have a test to fly, what kind and when did you take it? What airline did you fly?
thanks

So glad to see this -- our tickets are for the 2nd half of August! Can't wait, of course.
So glad to hear the news the other day that the US was added to the list of "green" countries and that no test will be required, with proof of vaccination.

Thanks for this news Gooster. We are flying to France in August. However, we are flying TAP Airlines, so we change planes in Lisbon. We are fully vaccinated Americans. Would you, or anyone else, happen to know if we still need to get a COVID test before we leave the US? I did some quick research but couldn't find an answer.

Just saw on the US Embassy in Portugal website that US travelers to Portugal must take COVID test within 72 hours of departure. This will be reviewed every 2 weeks. Not sure if it includes vaccinated Americans who are only transferring in Portugal, such as us.
Do Americans still have to take COVID test in France within 72 hours prior to returning to US?

- All air passengers coming to the United States, including U.S. citizens and fully vaccinated people, are required to have a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 3 days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months before they board a flight to the United States. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...g-covid19.html
