In reply to Post #30 Non vaccinated people ❌
Prior to departure, non vaccinated people authorized to enter France from the UK will have to present to the transport company (depending on their situation):
1. A compelling reason
Non-vaccinated people will be required to have a compelling reason to travel to or from the UK. These reasons are listed at the following address: https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du-Ministere/Attestation-de-deplacement-et-de-voyage. Being French is a compelling reason to return to France. French people’s partners (spouses, PACS partners or cohabiting partners (on presentation of proof of cohabitation)) and their children will still be able to travel to France.
2. A negative PCR (less than 72h) or TAG test less than 48 hours old
Travellers (12 years old or more) have to provide the result of a negative PCR (less than 72h) or antigen test (in paper or digital format) carried out less than 48h hours prior to departure.
Self-administered tests whose results are not certified by an approved private test provider (e.g. free tests provided by the NHS) are not authorized for travel. The NHS has stated that it will not carry out any tests for the purposes of travel. People should therefore use private organizations providing a similar service. No specific tests exist which are linked to the new variant identified.
Day 2 tests may be used for your return to France if they comply with the time criteria (less than 72/48 hours old) and contain the necessary information (type of test, date and time, name of laboratory, your full name and date of birth etc.).
The UK authorities are updating a list of centres permitted to carry out COVID-19 testing. This list can be viewed at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/list-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing/list-of-private-providers-of-coronavirus-testing.
N.B. We also strongly advise you to contact your travel operator to find out more about their travel requirements.

In reply to Post #24 That is my understanding of the situation at the moment and as such I went and got my booster that I had previously declined so I can go on the couple of trips I've got booked. It gets a little grey in that the timing of the second jab has an impact, I think if your 2nd dose was less than 9 months before you travel you are OK otherwise you get treated as unvaccinated, so much easier to get the booster to be covered

Does 'Fully vaccinated' mean double jabs + booster?

In reply to Post #21 I am off to France to ski shortly, so I have been reading various sources to ensure we are good to go.
As I understand it, France recognise fully vaccinated as 2 jabs and a booster - the time between 2nd jab and booster is irrelevant, as long as you have had the booster, you are ok. However, if you have only had 2 jabs, and the 2nd jab was more than 9 months ago, then you are not considered as vaccinated. So would need a booster a few weeks before you go.
But this has changed several times this year already, so it's likely to change again.
