    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid on Le Puy en Velay route

    Things can change so quickly. I walked the same route last September. Some places required a vaccine passport most did not. I had to stay a few nights in Estaing because of blisters and was not asked questions at the hotel I stayed at so I’m assuming one could isolate there. Gites and hostels...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD French Temporary QR Code for health pass

    When you get a temporary pass it’s good for three days (or has been). Not all pharmacies say that they’re doing it. We had to ask several when in another part of france. It cost my husband 2€. Whereas as two months earlier jt cost me €30. Good luck! And things will likely change.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD The Omicron variant and its implications for the camino

    Search for a testing site online and make sure it’s for a pcr test. They generally get the result back within 24 hours but check that too so you have it before boarding your flight. It is a little tricky but doable. Good luck!

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Portugal reimposes rules as COVID-19 cases rise (Nov 25, 2021)

    No I think their govt is just adding the negative test to the vax status. We still have to have a negative pcr Covid test along with our vax QR code to get into Canada.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD No response from a French Health authorities

    This is still a problem. You can try to reapply because sometimes it will come through within ten minutes. Mine took over a month and in the meantime I got a negative Covid test to last me 3 days then found a pharmacy in Paris that transferred my vaccination records from Canada into a permanent...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Any reason for concern about post covid surge in 2022?

    Actually there’s been a bit of a post Covid 2021 surge on the chemin d St Jacques Le Puy to Conques. I arrived sept 20 assuming I could book a day in advance and be fine and that was definitely not the case. I prebooked for the next 10 days and had to try several places for each night. Many...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Vaccine certificate needed for entry to bars and restaurants in Galicia?

    All I know is that the French QR code is needed in france to go anywhere. I had my Canadian vaccination papers transferred over to the French QR code at a pharmacie for 20€. Not all pharmacies do it though. I had double Pfizer.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Where to find Covid PCR testing in Paris?

    There are Covid testing tents all over Paris and there was a Covid testing site I saw at CDG. I was able to have my vaccination records transferred over to a French QR permanent code at à pharmacie in Paris.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD French health pass not being processed

    I got the same thing and applied again. Also flying Air France and they asked for the same stuff to be uploaded and sent again. I guess the worst is that we have to take a Covid test in france to get a temporary health pass. But what if we don’t get one?

    Thanks! I’ve still requested mine with all my info but this is good news for me as I’m landing in Paris the 5th. Hopefully mine will come in so I can go to museums before my camino walk.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD French Health Pass no problem

    How long did it take? I sent off for mine the 22nd of August and got a reply back saying they’re overwhelmed with requests and I might need to go to a French pharmacy at the airport (CDG) and get a negative Covid test and temporary QR pass for three days there. Hopefully my QR code will come...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid test from Canada

    You will still have to have a copy of your return ticket, an official card or transcripts of proof of vaccination as well, and my airline site said to have the official sworn statement too. I went to the French govt health site and it said to scan and email a copy of passport, return ticket...
