from the daily mail just now

British people who are fully vaccinated against Coronavirus will be able to enter France with proof of a negative antigen test from next week and do not need a 'compelling reason' to be in the country

Yes but this government has put it onto the amber list so you must isolate when you return

That's not a problem for many of us that work from home, especially when the alternative may be losing a trip that's been booked for almost 3 years

as far as I can tell this is good news!

We've had both jabs and we do LF testing once a week and we have always been clear so in effect (according to the link) we can go back to France and travel far and wide therein. OK we may have to self isolate for 10 days when we get back but as we are both retired this is not a problem...

Unless I am readign this (link) wrong.

I read it the same way, a test before entering to prove negative then the normal uk rules for returning home

I would say no Andy

I get tested twice a week with these rapid tests from a proper medic and I asked the very same question and the answer was NO

PCR and LFT are both antigen tests. An antibody test is a different thing.

The link posted below states an antigen test prior to entry



Those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 with one of the vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) are only required to present a PCR test taken in the last 72 hours or an antigen test taken in the last 48 hours upon their arrival in France.


Edit ps thanks hitman, may need some guinea pigs to try it, but I'm sure some had travelled recently before they locked us out by using a lateral flow
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
