Visitors heading to museums, cinemas or swimming pools in France would be denied entry from Wednesday if they cannot show the document that proves they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have had a recent negative test.
The new rule was disclosed on Wednesday
The health pass, previously only required for large-scale festivals or to go clubbing, will also be needed from August to enter restaurants and bars and for long-distance train and plane journeys, as authorities try to slow the spread of the virus and encourage people to get vaccinated.
Nelly Breton, 51, a resident of Paris, after being turned away from the Louvre museum, said she was angry with the new rule adding that she would now look for a pharmacy to get a rapid COVID test.#
