Will they? Probably. The Red Cross isn’t in the business of saying No to someone who they can help.


Should you go there? It’s a moral question. Here’s what the Prefect’s office says:

Le drive porté par la croix rouge, accessible à Hope Estate, est réservé aux voyageurs et aux touristes hébergés côté français. Il propose des tests PCR le matin, de 8h à 11h puis des tests antigéniques à partir de 11h30 jusqu’à 14H00 et le samedi de 8h à 12h pour les tests PCR et antigéniques. Cependant, il faut noter que ce drive sera fermé du 2/04 au 5/04 inclus, il proposera des tests antigéniques dès 8h le 6/04 pour répondre aux besoins des voyageurs devant se déplacer ce jour.

In English, that says:

The drive carried by the red cross, accessible at Hope Estate, is reserved for travelers and tourists staying on the French side. It offers PCR tests in the morning, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., then antigenic tests from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for PCR and antigen tests. However, it should be noted that this drive will be closed from 2/04 to 5/04 inclusive, it will offer antigenic tests from 8 am on 6/04 to meet the needs of travelers having to travel on that day.




For people who do go to the Red Cross site, keep in mind that the French side’s capacity for PCR tests is only 150 per day. An Antigen test is all that is needed to return to the US, so take the Antigen test unless there is some reason that you really need a PCR test.
