Thanks for that, but I don't speak French, Lol I just want to know if a RAPID test is acceptable, as opposed to the standard test. I'm in the US.

The exact requirements are all listed on all embassy sites. Yes, it is acceptable- Rapid PCR is generally the only one that will come back in time. But you really are better checking all this on Embassy site.
