Hello,
We are returning to US from Paris . We just wonder where we can get the Covid 19 Antigen test before flying back to US. We’re staying in the 14 th arr.
Thanks in advance
Hi Kim, walk around your neighborhood and see which of the pharmacies offer the tests. Look for the big green cross sign. We were in Paris last week. We stopped in a few days before departure, talked to the pharmacist to confirm the hours, and that no appointment was needed. It was $20 and took 20 minutes. You’ll need your passport.
HI Donna, good to know! Can you perhaps tell me how they give you the result - in what format is it? An email, a QR code? Is it printed or an electronic file? And how does one get it to their airline? I will have just my phone and am not sure how United airlines wants this test result submitted, an upload, a photo, etc. Any input appreciated, thank you.
Not Donna, but the neighborhood pharmacie I used in Paris printed it out. I didn’t ask if they could email results. That was last Oct.
Just last month I returned home from Amsterdam and that test site only emailed results. I was able to do a screenshot of the results and upload to the Delta app. When I checked in at the airport the agent also wanted to look at the results so if you can’t get it loaded to the app don’t worry. They’ll check again in person anyway.
Hi Kim, the pharmacy gave us a printed copy of our results with a QR code. I took a photo of the document with my ipad and uploaded it to the Delta Flyready app. Check in went smoothly at the airport. We were asked to show the hardcopy documentation at two checkpoints. Have fun in Paris!
Thanks so much for your advice. now we will be able to enjoy the trip after 2yrs locked in by covid.
Got our test at a pharmacy (big green cross) right around the corner from us on the Isle St Louis…….they printed the results out, I took a picture of each of ours and loaded them both on to the Delta FlyReady site that already had the rest of our info……..my Iphone asked me if I wanted to put the results on my IHealth app…..so I did. When we were going home the Delta desk agent asked if I had the results……I showed her the IHealth download and she said that was fine…….3 weeks ago!
We just returned from Paris (previously in Sarlat). In Sarlat the Pharmacy did not do on-site tests, they only had them for sale.
We stayed a couple days before our flight at an airport hotel near CDG - the airport pharmacy there has a process for 35euro and they provide a paper copy of the test result. Rather quick. Lufthansa accepted this for our flight home.
We had ours done in February at the same pharmacy on Ile St. Louis mentioned above. Quick, easy & friendly :-)
This website lists pharmacies (zoom in to Paris). May help locating one near your accommodations. When we were there, testing was ubiquitous.

When you check into your hotel ask at the desk. Our hotel had a mini map ready and a highlighter to show a local pharmacy. It was easy, cost 20 euros each.
Any Pharmacy does it, mine charged 40.00 They e mail you the results in French. School to the very end to see your result.
