After a little over a year, the world is slowly beginning to return to what it once was. Today, June 9, France has opened its borders back up to non-EU tourists with a pass sanitaire (health passport/proof of vaccination) and/or a negative PCR Covid test taken within 78 hours of travel.
As shown below, France has designated countries with a color (green, orange or red) depending on the safety level. Green-country vaccinated citizens are allowed to travel to France without any testing or quarantine. Orange countries still may require testing, but no quarantine, either. Red countries are only allowed to enter France for a compelling reason, with a negative test before travel and seven-day quarantine once in France. The U.S. is currently an orange country.

In France, about 40% of the population has received the first dose of the vaccine, and only 20% are fully vaccinated with two doses. However, despite that low number, the cases of Covid in France are still decreasing, which is good news nonetheless.
If nothing changes in terms of the borders, I am so excited to be heading to France this summer. I can’t wait to see several of my friends and visit a few different parts of the country. While solo traveling can be intimidating, I am fortunate to have so many people in France that are willing to help me out.
Stay tuned for updates with the borders and let me know if there is anything specific you want to know in future posts!
