Some restaurateurs had planned to secretly open the doors of their establishments to customers on Monday, February 1.
But the initiative risks having lead in the wing.
Indeed, the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire warned on RTL on Monday all those who would be tempted to override the restrictions.
Restaurants which break the rules by opening will see their access to the solidarity fund "suspended for a month", and "definitively" in the event of a repeat offense, he announced.
The minister also indicated that controls will be tightened in shops to ensure that the 10 square meter gauge per customer is respected.
In case of non-compliance, it will be "a fine first, then a closure", he said.
