Vax proof when traveling between NL and FR via train

Hoping someone here can help lend some insight. I’m traveling to The Netherlands next week for a family event and will be taking the Thalys to Paris for a few days after, then returning to NL to catch a flight back to the States next day.

My question is in regards to vax proof to enter France via train. The Thalys website says a European digital COVID certificate is required to enter France. I know for a fact that if you fly into France from the US you just need to show your CDC card to gain entry. What I’m unsure of is whether the rules are different by train. As a US citizen who was vaxxed and boosted in the US I don’t have a European digital COVID certificate, nor am I able to get one.

Does anyone know if simply showing my CDC card and passport will satisfy the French entry requirements via train arrival?

Any and all advice welcome. Thanks.

I traveled from Paris to Amsterdam last month. All they wanted to see was my ticket.
Masks were required, but maybe that has changed by now.
