That's not my understanding of the PCR validity for entry into France. According to the French rules I quoted above, it seems that a test of either sort has to be within 24 of departure. The Foreign Office agrees - it says at https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/france/entry-requirements "Present a negative PCR or antigen test result taken within 24 hours pre-departure if aged 12 years and over". Another French government site also agrees - it says at https://www.gouvernement.fr/info-coronavirus/deplacements "Tous les voyageurs, vaccinés ou non, doivent présenter au départ un test négatif (PCR ou test antigénique) de moins de 24h".

OK - I stand corrected and have changed the original post. I was getting confused with Switzerland pre the current rules.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Many thanks to you Yak and to you LaForet.
I was quite concerned about this, but now I think I have a plan.
I've ordered two Lateral Flow tests, and will take them with me to Dover. They arrive tomorrow from officialrapidtests.com
I will do the first test on Saturday evening, when I stop near Cambridge. I'll get an email result for sailing on Sunday. I'll keep the other one as a backup.
I am not going to book the ferry until I get to Dover.

We are just back from France. Flew in and out of Grenoble. Nobody was asked for a sworn statement on our flight!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Just entered France through euro tunnel, wasn’t asked by the border official for them he asked for vaccine proof and let us through.
Interestingly as usual for some reason our phones wouldn’t load and I showed him a mish mash of screen shots for everyone and he wasn’t too bothered, could of all
Been photoshopped he didn’t scan it, If they are going to make these rules at least enforce them.

@SkiPresto, you probably already know this, but in the past few days (as mentioned on several threads here) the French rules have changed again. The UK is now a standard French orange/amber country, rather than being in a special category if its own, so now the test before boarding your ferry at Dover - whatever sort of test you use - only needs to be done 48h before departure (not 24h as previously).

Did you not upload your required documents via the eurotunnel website prior to travel?
It’s easy to do and removes any last minute chance of hassle
The french passport check we enjoyed due to his singing as he stamped passports!
No checking of screens by him but he did ask if we were vaccinated !

For those that have used eurotunnel, when have you uploaded the sworn statement, the day before? And have you used the same print out dated the day before to show at the border on the day of travel.

We're crossing on 18/2, our statements are dated 18/2 even though we signed and uploaded them yesterday. They were accepted by the system.
Bit of a faff because the word doc is 2 pages...

@caughtanedge, Didn't realise you can do them this early we cross similar time. Though I just deleted a few lines on the page to get onto a single page of A4 no need for it to be 2 pages.

Uploaded night before travel ie within 24 hrs of arrival time
The dec of honour cannot be uploaded early we found as eurotunnel website will not allow also negative test result lft has to be timed within that 24 hr window anyway
Despite doing everything as specified I still wonder if anyone actually looked at the paperwork!! Maybe a bot?
Border guard not interested too busy preparing for auction for the voice!

You know it makes sense.

@James77, Ah ok - I read on another thread someone tried that and it failed. But there may have been some other reason.
