Hotel Check-In Covid Testing

Hello - my family and I are departing middle of the month for a few weeks in France, staying in a few areas (and hotels) - Paris, Dinan, Amboise, Colmar, Versailles - and am wondering if hotels are requiring negative tests prior to check-in. Most hotels state they still require negative tests within a day or two of check-in and I'm curious how much their stated policies online differ from what is happening on the ground. As we work on our finishing preparations, we're trying to determine how many tests to bring with us. As we're staying at five different hotels through our visit, with three of us, we might need 15 individual tests, which feels excessive and maybe unnecessary. But that is the question I'm looking to answer.

I think goes without saying but I realize this is hotel specific, and impossible to say with certainty without naming the hotels, which I'm happy to do if that helps, but I'm looking for just generally, for those recently or currently in France, did your hotel require a negative test at check-in?

Appreciate any and all thoughts.

Hotels have never required tests. (I don't think they required vax cards back when those were a thing either)

We returned from Paris yesterday. The hotel looked at our passports but there was no mention of a Covid test.

Fantastic - that is what I was thinking. Probably just on their websites (or a disclaimer on the website of the travel system I book through).

Appreciate the quick responses!
