Pass sanitaire

In France the pass sanitaire is a way of life now. You need it to be able to visit bars, restaurants, hotels, museums, large shopping centres or venues, otherwise you need to demonstrate a negative COVID result.

The system works by scanning your vaccination QR code that was issued for confirmation of your second jab. We use the ‘tousanticovid’ app, which is easy to download and easy to load your vaccination certificate into. I believe the tousanticovid app can also be used by those travelling into Europe, and if you are coming from the UK the NHS app can also be used. If you don’t have access to a phone, a paper copy of your vaccinations is needed.

It’s quite simple, all they do is scan your QR code on entry and you can go in. We will also need to be able to scan and check our guests pass sanitaire in our chambre d’hôte, but the great thing is that our guests then don’t need to wear a mask whilst they are here, unless they want to.

As people need proof of being double vaccinated when entering France, this does not seem to be causing an issue for international travellers.
