That refers to NHS tests- the French Govt accept them provided they are checked/certified by a labThe UK Government site says you cant use the self administered test for travel to France.
COVID-19 entry requirements
From 00:00 CET 4 December (23:00 GMT 3 December), fully vaccinated travellers (aged 12 years or over) travelling from outside of the European Union to France must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result from either a PCR or antigen test. Tests must be taken no more than 48 hours before travel for vaccinated travellers and no more than 24 hours before travel for those who are not fully vaccinated.

As is usual with anything on the gov.uk info it is completely ambiguous.
As a definitive answer to all this has anyone in the last 48 hours passed through French immigration with a home delivered, remotely assessed LFT? If so did you / they get through or not?

Not for the LFT.. Local Boots is quoting 20 minutes
Its a right mess at the minute. Who knows what we're supposed to be doing. Eurotunnel certainly don't seem to. I asked them earlier if a home test was ok and they said yes as long as I've got a certificate!!
Ah, profits again !!
You did well......I asked them in an email and after two days they directed me to the govt website.
Webchat, but yes wouldn't be drawn on a provider even though there's apparently an Asda just down the road from them. I reckon there's a msrket for a testing place App.

Buy a LGV and go to and fro without challenge test etc.
How can anyone believe in the system escapes me.
Although keeps the internet busy looking for the next rule change, and fear topped up to establish more control daily.

I hope this helps
As others have said. As long it is a paid for and verified test, you can get the home tests.
TRAVELLING FROM THE UK TO FRANCE
1. Travelling from the UK to France
LAST MINUTE :From 4 December, fully vaccinated travellers (12 years old or more), and whatever their nationality, have to provide the result of a negative PCR or antigen test (in paper or digital format) carried out less than 48h hours prior to departure. Self-administred tests, whose results are not certified by a laboratory (e.g.: tests provided free of charge by the NHS) are not considered valid for travel.
The NHS indicates that it will not carry out tests for travel purposes. Private entities offering the same service must therefore be used.

Well as a definitive answer then yes they do accept a test done at home and verified by photo emailed of the result. We're now the other side of immigration waiting to board......princely sum of £16 each...!
