Travel from Spain to France
Does anyone know what tests, if any, are required to fly from Alicante to Bordeaux and back? I have a Spanish Digital Vaccine Passport.

I think all EU Digital Vaccine Passport are accepted, to enter France from the UK you need proof of Vaccine and form downloaded off internet, below is Part of the page. https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/coming-to-france/coronavirus-advice-for-foreign-nationals-in-france/
Can I enter France?
If you are vaccinated, you can travel to France with no restrictions linked to health conditions.
The measures applicable to vaccinated adults also apply to any minors accompanying them, whether they are vaccinated or not. You can therefore travel with your underage children, whether they are vaccinated or not, and they will not need to self-isolate. Unvaccinated children aged 12 and over will need to present a negative test result as described below
Travel documents if you are vaccinated:
proof of vaccination. It will only be valid if it proves that you are fully vaccinated, i.e.:
Seven days after the second shot for two-shot vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxevria and Covishield));
Four weeks after the shot for one-shot vaccines (Johnson & Johnson);
Seven days after the shot for vaccines administered to people who have already had COVID-19 (only one dose is necessary).
Only vaccines authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (Pfizer (Comirnaty), Moderna, AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria), Johnson & Johnson (Janssen)), or AstraZeneca (Covishield) will be accepted.
Seven days after a booster ARNm dose (Moderna or Pfizer) after two shots of a vaccine on the WHO’s health emergencies list (Sinovac/Coronavac or Sinopharm/BBIB-PVeroCells)
a sworn declaration, which you can download from the Interior Ministry’s website stating that you have no symptoms of COVID-19 infection;

to your knowledge, you have not been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to your journey.

Thank you but I am entering France from Spain not from the UK. Do the same rules apply? I would not assume so......

The beginning of the reply states "to enter France from the UK" etc.. So I am still not clear if I need to book a PCR or lateral flow test because I am not entering France from a 3rd country.

you do not need to take any test to enter France, just the attestation to say that you have not been in contact with anyone with corona virus, enjoy Bordeaux, cheers Martin

It is not described as a locator form, here again is the France web site
If rules change and they do, this is where to find the correct information
