Please be very careful travelling to Europe with your dog. Today it was announced that pet passports can no longer be used even if you have a registered property in France or elsewhere. Only if you are a habitual resident, no interpretations on the matter. This starts in 5 days time, so don't get caught out at the port, or you'll be sent away. End of holiday.
I can direct you links if needed.

Rush out and get an animal health certificate now! You might as well throw the pet passport in the bin.
This is the EU, particularly France, being unhelpful, I must admit I'm not surprised, but hey ho!

Vets are seeking clarification as the notification you are referring to, which they received today from APHA, appears to contradict the EU guidelines

Btw it's not the EU or France being unhelpful it's closing a loophole that has been widely exploited.
