From 16 May 2022, wearing a mask will no longer be compulsory on public transport in Paris and in France, but will still be recommended.
Just for information, since 14 March 2022, it has no longer been compulsory to wear a mask indoors (museums, monuments, cultural and leisure venues, restaurants, etc.) in Paris and in France.
Since 1 August 2022, the vaccination pass is no longer in effect in Paris and in France.
The European vaccination pass, called the ‘EU Digital COVID Certificate’ (delivered in all EU Member states and also in Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, and Iceland) remains valid in France.
Visitors can take an antigen test (result in 15-30 minutes) or an RT-PCR test (result generally available within 24 hours) in Paris and anywhere else in France.
The tests must be paid for by people who do not have a French social security number. An antigen test costs from €20 to €25. An RT-PCR test costs €43.89. For people affiliated to the French health insurance system, coverage has been partial since 1 March 2023 (except in certain cases), with a remaining cost of 30%.
An antigen test can be taken in many pharmacies. All the testing centres are listed on the Covid testing sites map on the website of the French ministry of health and solidarity. Self-tests are also available in pharmacies, for a maximum price of €3.35 for adults and €5.20 for children.
From 1 February 2023, isolation is no longer compulsory in the event of a positive test, but remains recommended. It is still a good behaviour to warn those around you and contact a doctor.
In case of breathing difficulties, immediately call the SAMU on 15, on 114 for deaf or hearing-impaired persons or on 112 (European emergency number).
