Pharmacie de la Gare is open every day, giving Antigen tests. It is located in front of the Gare de Lyon.

Im probably over-thinking this but…..I’ll ask anyway….

I know little to nothing about Antigen tests…..apparently the CDC had stated initially NAAT test or an antigen test given we need our return test w/i 1 day. I just looked again and the CDC is saying an antigen test is fine if it is a viral test.

Can anyone here speak to the Antigen tests we will get in Paris one day before we return. Or are folks getting rapid PCR tests?

We are not bringing tests with us.

The day before your flight, simply go to the nearest pharmacy/testing site and get tested. You need nothing other than the standard Antigen test, costing 25€. Test results take minutes, and you should receive both a paper copy, with QR code, and an email confirmation.

That´s it.
