We will be returning to the US from CDG on Monday July 11th. We will be traveling from Amboise to a small area, Champagne-sur-Oise, the day before returning. Does anyone have information on the availability of testing sites available in Amboise? I also understand that there are 3 pharmacies available to do testing at CDG. Is there a link or more information available about the location of these pharmacies?
Do you mean that on Sunday, you will depart Amboise to stay in Champagne-sur-Oise Sunday night, and fly to the States on Monday?
If that is the case, you may do best to order proctored online tests from Binax Now or similar. Finding a Sunday test in regional France is probably not that easy.
I knew the CDG pharmacies did health passes, but this is the first I heard of them doing antigen testing. Do you have a reference I can look up for future questions?
Edit: thank you for the pharmacy links. Game changer for some people, as two are open until 20h. I’ve used only the lab at CDG.
Here’s a link that says all the airport pharmacies do antigen testing without an appointment:

Thank you Valerie! That is exactly what I was looking for. Kim, we may have to resort to the online proctored tests, but I'm secretly holding out hope that testing to re-enter the US may not be necessary by July.
Ditto to your secret hope that testing is not required - but for our May return instead of your July!:)
Your Amboise hotel will know where to get tested, or you could pop into a nearby pharmacy when you're there and ask
This copy and pasted from the CDG website:
If you want to travel with peace of mind, we strongly recommend arriving at the airport with a pre-test in hand.
