In France, a health pass now has to be shown to eat in a restaurant, drink in a bar, access non-emergency treatment in a hospital or travel on an intercity train.

France brings on tougher health pass restrictions to curb COVID-19 surgePARIS - The French morning ritual of a coffee and croissant became more complicated on Monday as people had to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test before taking a seat at their favourite cafe, though numerous eateries ignored the new rules.

"It's simple, we have downloaded an app ... so we scan the QR code of the clients, and if it's valid, they can enter. And if it's not valid, we cannot serve them," said Romain Dicrescenzo, manager of the Vrai Paris cafe in the capital's Montmartre district. Even so, of the 10 restaurant and cafe owners Reuters spoke to in Paris on Monday, half said they refused to run the health pass checks. Police would take a lenient view initially, the Interior Ministry said.
