PASS SANITARE
Put simply, a pass sanitare is a way for the government to check your COVID status and check you are not at risk of transmitting the disease. If you are Vaccinated, Recovered or have a recent negative test, then this will grant you access into the country and too large events. More information here

The French government has confirmed that British vaccination certificates  can be loaded into the TousAntiCovid app (which is downloadable from abroad) so, providing you’re double jabbed  you’ll generate your own health pass through the well established TousAntiCovid app by scanning the QR codes of your vaccination certificates.
