The changes were flagged last week and introduced at the weekend but came too late for all but very last-minute half-term breaks. France had until then required a PCR or antigen test for entry regardless of vaccination status.
Guillaume Bazard, the French consul-general in London, announced the change on Twitter. He said: “As of 12 February, tests will no longer be necessary for travellers with a complete vaccination schedule travelling from the UK to France.”
