Covid
passes - "Le pass sanitaire" and masks
Update for 2024.
There are currently no restrictions on visitors arriving in France from
other countries.
Proof of covid-compliance
is no longer required for entry into bars, restaurants, shops
and other public places including
museums. Facemasks however remain recommended for passengers
using public
transport.
Facemasks are recommended, and may be required, for entry to
hospitals
and care homes, but no longer for entry into France. A "health pass"
can
be one of three things: a vaccination certificate on paper or on your
phone, proof of a recent negative test, or proof that you have recently
had covid.
