Hello. we are still waiting for our Health Passes.
I believe not all pharmacies convert CDC vax cards to "pass sanitaire" QR codes.
Could you please share your experiences and names of pharmacies in Paris, preferably around St. Germain, that provide this service?
Much thanks!
I think that was a "thing" early on (August) but I haven't heard of it still going on. Hope I am wrong for your sake and mine, too.
Based on my reading of posts here, you should definitely not count on getting a health pass from a pharmacy in France. If you have not already done so, you might try re-applying for the pass and making sure you do so during working hours in France. Anecdotal evidence suggests that may increase your chances of success, but there seems to be no way to assure it.
This is an excellent idea to ask. Once in a while there is still a report. They should write :
Name and address of the pharmacy
Date of transaction
Cost
DallasMom7…..we are still waiting since 9/12…read on another forum that couple had not received their passé in 25 days and finally received it on their last night in Paris which was 2 days ago.
They reported that they used their CDC card and that it was accepted at the Louvre and Versailles.
For myself….I will keep trying using the hack that everyone else has had luck with…we don’t leave until December.
You do not need a Pass Sanitare . EVERY PLACE in Paris took paper CDC cards last week when we were there:
Louvre
Orangerie
Musee Rodin
Ritz Carlton Hemingway Bar
Les Deux Magot
Cafe Bonaparte
Pink Mama restaurant
It’s just not an issue. Don’t worry 😉
There are several reports that the TGV will no longer accept anything except the pass -- no personal experience as I have the pass, but this is apparently a recent change.
Janettravels.....I got a message from them--when I asked if they will accept the CDC card--and they said no. It's also on their website with an update today. You must have the Pass Sanitaire for TGV, Ouigo and International trains except the Eurostar.
Now, it is possible you might find a conductor who is sympathetic but I wouldn't count on it.
Thanks for all your help. We have tried the 'hack' to modify the files. But that did not work.
We will resubmit and see what happens.
Great to know that the CDC vax card is widely accepted. That's what we are banking on.
