We will need a Covid test in Paris on a Sunday in May before a Monday flight to the USA. Any suggestions? We understand a Sunday test at a pharmacy may be hard to find. Thanks

Which Sunday in May? Sunday, May 1st will be hard and purchasing one of those US-"proctored" tests (BinaxNOW, or others perhaps) and bringing them with you might be the best choice.
Otherwise, on a regular Sunday there are plenty of open pharmacies that will do tests. It could help to have a look at the "doctolib.fr" website - it is a medical appointment website, widely used in France but strangely without an English version. Pick "dépistage covid-19 test antigénique" in the "nom, spécialité" search field and type the postcode of your hotel in the "où" field. Google Translate (or other) should be able to help with the rest. For example, I have 3 pharmacies that have slots this Sunday within 1/4 mile from home.

We stayed in the Marais and needed the test on this past Monday. However, the pharmacy near us did Sunday's, but the cost is higher. Weekdays is 20 Euro for the test. Just a note, the system they all use was down on Monday, and we had to wait most of the day until it came back up to take our test ... but went quickly and smoothly
