I keep reading about a health passport that we need to have in order to get into the parks, is this a French app or can we show our nhs barcodes. I’m travelling with an 11 yo and 7 yo who are not vaccinated

The health passport is the TousCovid app. I am not sure if the NHS app would work, it might, it is after all just a QR code they want. But all you need to do is download the french app and scan your NHS code into it and then you are easy to go. So I would probably just do that.

The French app is easier but you can use the nhs app as your health pass too.
Just to say to enter restaurants and bars you have to scan to get in and while they do have a QR code for you to scan for entry if you don’t have the app, you will need to put your details in every time so the French app is much quicker and easier to have.
It’s very easy to set up too so no brainer really.

what about kids in all this? i have a single vaccinated 15 year old... will he still need a paid LFT 24hrs before travel? also am a bit stressed at the thought of him being separated from the rest of us all (fully vaccinated) in paris for more testing :-(

Yes he will need an LFT as not fully vaccinated.
We travelled by Eurotunnel so not sure how airports are dealing with it but I’m sure an adult could go as he’s still a minor.

I have the French app and have put both mine and my husband's QR codes on it.

Hope they accept that because I couldn't get the app on his I phone. Keeps saying something about the device not being linked to the app store. Something like that 😂

He is useless with tech and I have an android. I was ready to bin the bloody thing. Have saved the QR codes in to the Apple Wallet for him too.

I'm really really looking forward to this trip 🙄
