I'm hearing rumours of an announcement from France, saying that pre-travel tests will no longer be required. So depending when you are going, may not be needed.

Let's hope so as I might just book a week on the spur of the moment soon 🎣🎣😜

Same as that by all accounts so long as fully jabbed boostered up it may only be filling in the declaration sur l'honneur.

Doubt it will happen if UK takes away quarantine for infected people.

vaccinated travellers from outside the EU in time for half-term holidays.
In good news for Britons planning a getaway during the school break, those who have both doses of a Covid jab and are from outside of the EU will no longer be required to produce a negative Covid-19 test result in order to enter.
Travellers entering France currently have to present proof of a negative Covid test taken up to 48 hours before their arrival. Both unvaccinated and vaccinated people are subject to the pre-arrival testing.

I also read that in France the definition of vaccinated includes having the booster within 9 months of your second dose. This came through from the venue I am going to later in the year as they wanted to ensure that all guests were aware of the requirements to avoid any last minute cancellations

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.

Since January 30 2022, in order to continue to be considered as fully vaccinated, travellers aged over 18 and one month who had their full vaccine course over 9 months ago and have not since received a COVID-19 vaccine booster must follow the rules for unvaccinated passengers to enter France.

Does 'Fully vaccinated' mean double jabs + booster?

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
