At the end of our trip (after having been in EU/Schengen for a few weeks) we are taking a high speed nonstop train from Zurich to Paris. Once in Paris we will get tested for our flight home to the US in lieu of a pass Sanitaire as we are only in Paris a few nights. We have our CDC cards. Question is do we need to fill out any documents to get into France direct from Zurich on the high speed train? I know there are some threads about high speeds WITHIN France but haven’t seen from outside France. Thanks

This isn’t real clear, will the CDC cards with the declaration work or must we try to get the pass Sanitaire? Thanks, confusing!

Here’s what I don’t get :
For all travel in France and all international travel on board our TGV Lyria trains, the health pass is required as of 9 August 2021.
All travels in France or international journeys with TGV Lyria requires a health pass (certificate of a complete vaccination schedule, PCR/antigenic test less than 72 hours old, or Covid recovery certificate less than 6 months old). To find out more about the health pass, visit the French government website.
Controls of the health pass can be carried out at any time during your journey.
Conditions of entry into France from Switzerland:
A certificate of a complete vaccination scheme, PCR/antigenic test less than 72 hours old or Covid recovery certificate less than 6 months old is required to travel to France, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN HEALTH PASS.
Anyone have any idea what this means? Thanks

"Conditions of entry into France from Switzerland:

You must also carry a declaration on honour stating that you are not showing any symptoms of Covid-19 and that, to the best of your knowledge, you have not been in contact with any person with a confirmed case of Covid-19 during the 14 days prior to your trip.
These entry rules to France can change at any time as the public health context evolves. We therefore encourage you to find out more about the French entry requirements prior to your voyage on the website of the Ministry of the Interior."
It appears that you have everything that is required. The real question is the website "Ministry of the Interior" as it appears that what is stated above that can change at any time.
