Hi there,
We will be traveling back to the US via Nice to CDG in late June. How should we test for covid to return? I see we need to test one day before hand. Do we need to schedule on at a clinic or bring our own? Has anyone done this recently in the St. Tropez area, or Nice airport?? Thank you so much for your help!

Bring your own official proctored test (the airline you bought the ticket from sells them).

or get it at a pharmacy in Nice.

Great. How do they know we tested a day before? Does anyone have to witness or ok our test results? Or do we just take our tests to the airport?

The proctored test is over the internet with a live person observing you via your camera phone.
You get an official document dated with the results that you either can upload to the airline site or show at the airport at checkin.
When you go to a pharmacy or official testing site they give you an official document stamped and dated with the results.
You then can take a picture of it and upload to your airline's ap. I did this two weeks ago flying United from Italy; a photo of the official document was enough that I could checkin online the night before, get a boarding pass and did not need to go to the checkin counter since I had a carryon
