Navigating Doctolib App for COVID testing appointments in France

Disclaimer I Am technologically challenged. I have spent many hours researching and finding a pharmacy for COVID antigen test in France in prep for our return flight to USA 22 May.
I am in process of establishing an account with Doctolib. When inputting my phone number I get message format is incorrect, I’ve tried with and without 1 infront of my usual number, cannot use space or dashes . Has anyone else successfully navigated this sight?
Help! And Thank you

I think you are making this harder than it needs to be. Will you be in Paris that day?

You can just walk in to most pharmacies in Paris the day you need to be tested. Most of them still have signs in their windows saying no appointments needed for testing. May 21 is a Saturday and not a holiday so it should be no problem.

Your hotel can steer you to the nearest pharmacy but if you’ve been in the neighborhood for a few days you’ll probably have seen the green cross signs nearby.

We will leave Beziers mid morning, pharmacy 3 min walk from Hotel , their sight indicates appointments only. We’ll drive To Toulouse airport and fly to Paris @ 16:20. We depart Paris 10:15 am.
We’re staying at Sheraton @ CDG when I looked at airport reference my interpretation was there would be a long cue.

There may not be a long cue by May 22 as who knows what the rules will be by then or if the US will still be requiring a negative Covid test.

Since you are arriving in the afternoon, I’d plan to go to one of the pharmacies at the airport before you head to your hotel. They are on the departure level so you’ll need to take the elevator up a level.

I’ve not flown from the Toulouse airport but you may be able to do a walk in there so you might plan to give yourselves some extra time there.

We`re flying out of CDG the same day -May 22. On united. Our plan is to get our test the day prior Saturday May 21 at a nearby pharmacy - close to our hotel. All posts seem to indicate this should be easy. Hopefully we will be negative - and able to make our flight out back to SFO.
