No, there are no travel restrictions to Paris.
The French government has put in place a series of measures to limit travel to Paris in an effort to combat the spread of the coronavirus. These measures include a ban on all non-essential travel to and from Paris, and a requirement that all visitors to the city must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival.
Can I go to Paris if I’m vaccinated?
If you receive your COVID-19 vaccination in France, you can obtain a French ‘pass sanitaire’ (which is a version of the EU Digital Covid Certificate) in order to travel internationally. To do so, you should scan the QR code on your paper vaccine certification via the French app TousAntiCovid.
As of January 18, 2021, all travelers arriving in France from outside the European Union, including the United States, must present a negative PCR test result, carried out less than 72 hours before boarding. If they are unable to present a negative PCR test, they will not be allowed to board their transport to France.
What does a US citizen need to travel to France
If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa to enter France for tourist or business stays of 90 days or less. However, you will need a valid U.S. passport and a return ticket. For stays longer than 90 days, you will need to apply for a long-stay visa.
If you wish to enter French territory as of 1 February 2022, you must have received a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine no later than 9 months after the last required dose in order to be considered fully vaccinated.

If you test positive for COVID-19 in France, you will need to self-isolate for 7 days if you are fully vaccinated or 10 days if you are only partially vaccinated or unvaccinated. You will also need to alert anyone you have been in contact with.
Wearing a face mask is required in some cases in France. For example, if you are using public transport, you must wear a face mask. If you are in a enclosed space with other people, such as a restaurant, you must also wear a face mask.

If you are an American passport holder, you do not need to obtain a visa prior to visiting France for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This is a great benefit if you are planning a trip to France and want to stay for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that you may still need to obtain a visa if you plan to stay for more than 90 days or if you want to work or study while in France.
Can US passport holders travel to France now
As of November 2023, American passport holders will need to register with ETIAS in order to travel to France for tourism, business, or transit purposes. ETIAS is not a visa, but rather a travel authorisation for visa-exempt non-EU citizens. Americans will need to complete the ETIAS application and pay the associated fee in order to obtain the travel authorisation. Once approved, ETIAS will be valid for multiple entries into France over a three-year period.
Please note that you will need a valid passport, visa (if required), and proof of accommodation to enter the country. Your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and be valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure date.
Do I need 3 COVID vaccines to travel to France?
In order to be eligible to enter France as a vaccinated person, the traveller must be fully vaccinated, which means:
• They must have received two doses of a two-shot vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca), and at least 14 days must have passed since the second dose; or
• They must have received a single-shot vaccine (Janssen/Johnson & Johnson), and at least 14 days must have passed since vaccination.
