What about my return journey to the UK ?
If you’re returning to Scotland from France, you must provid a neative PCR test done 3 days before you travel. You must also book and pay for managed isolation in a quarantine hotel for at least 10 days from arrival. You must be tested on day 2 and day 8 of your 10-days isolation.
Is traveling to France subject to any restrictions ?
You can get tested at Paris-CDG or Paris-Orly up to 72 hrs before your flight. You will need to present your flight ticket and the Doctolib booking confirmation to reach the terminal. Passengers who want to do their test at the airport screening center must take an appointment online. To arrange the appointment, you will have to justify your travel with your flight ticket. The PCR test results done at the airport are sent to passengers (in french and english) by dematerialised way, by text message or email. They also can be consulted on Cerballiance’s website within 48 hrs maximum.
Available only in Paris-Orly airport center, rapid PCR test slots are gradually available and remain limited in number. These rapid tests are only offered to passengers with a flight ticket for a same-day flight departing from Paris-Orly and only for passengers who have made an appointment beforehand. They allow rapid results to be obtained within 90 minutes.
Travellers entering France from the UK must isolate for a period of 7 days. They must then take a second PCR COVID-19 test which returns negative.
Please note France is currently under curfew from 6pm to 6 am everyday.
