Paris Restaurants Face Challenges With Security Measures

Restaurant owners in Paris are struggling with the 44,000 barriers set up for the Olympic Games’ antiterrorism perimeter, leading to a significant drop in customers. Raymond Pignol of L’Auberge cafe had to close for 10 days as clients can’t get in, while the city now feels like it’s under COVID lockdown again. With tourism figures down, restaurants face potential bankruptcy, further exacerbated by mandatory QR codes, which many residents and tourists are reluctant to use.
