Covid testing before return to US

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.

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.
