Following its validation by the French Constitutional Council, the compulsory nature of the health step has applied since 9 August to a wide range of venues and events. Starting with the transportwhere the sesame is required when it comes to long-distance journeys. Clearly, trains with reservations - including TGVso - as well as domestic flights or inter-regional coaches will require presentation of the document. Intercity and other night trains are also affected, unlike urban travel by metro, bus or tram, which do not require a health pass. The players involved are working on integrating health data into the train or plane ticket, in the same way as theAir France which is testing the Ready to Fly since mid-July. " We are simply trying to link the health pass to the ticket. Air France has carried out this experiment, which has been very satisfactory, as has Eurotunnel, and we are working with SNCF. Because we also think that these restrictions can be long-lasting, we want to organise them in an extremely serious and precise way. (...) We want to take advantage of this crisis to make travel more digital." said Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari at the end of July.
The health pass facilitates the health checks required at borders for all travel between France, Corsica or one of the overseas collectivities, as well as for intra-European travel.

It is interoperable throughout the European Union, as well as in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Iceland, England, Wales, Norway, Monaco and Andorra. "The Ministry of Health also states. " Applications for reading the health pass make it easier for passengers to embark and disembark and minimise (as far as possible) the disclosure of personal health data", it adds. This system is fully in line with the "EU digital COVID certificate" implemented by the European Commission. The rules applicable to travel, which differ from those used for places and events covered by the health pass on national territory, are available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
