‘Empty streets’: Paris restaurants struggle amid Olympic security • FRANCE 24 English
Paris restaurant owners had hoped to see a boom in business as crowds flocked to the city for this summer’s Olympic Games, but instead many along the French capital’s River Seine have been left virtually empty. The reason, owners say, is a police security perimeter that is keeping visitors away.

I feel bad for these entrepreneurs. Hopefully business has rebounded and the security perimeter has been removed.👍
Paris Olympic started with gang raped and woke abomination towards God. Nothing glorious about this. Shame on you.
Paris is looking like a big prison with barriers everywhere… If that's how you organise olympic games, maybe let others do it next time 😉
Whats ironic about police state environments like this is that not only do most people not want to patronize businesses there but and not only do you almost always have to give up liberty in the name of security but they are ineffective at preventing terrorism and crime as well.
Hosting the Olympics hardly seems worth the trouble.
Bad planning
Screw your French restaurants and no ice for my water 😂
Looks like Soviet Union or a Police State. The supposed free and Liberal City. Lockdowns all over again.
Government’s never consider the consequences of their actions.
Anytime you give up your freedom to government, it never goes well.
Seems like the only ones making money are the IOC
Another "Project Macron" bearing sweet fruits
This is the worst Olympic ever .
They have become 3rd world. Should have grown a backbone and stopped the spread of leftism and social communism.
Because it's a dump. Thank your government for that. Nobody wants to be culturally enriched either.
Game Over
I guess that poor communication can happen in any language!
Don’t worry, those business will still have to pay taxes
Paris is overrated anyways
Guess that's what happens when you disrespect people's religions. Teach Paris a lesson on manners.
Barriers are often put up for Olympic Games to separate free activities from ticketed events. When we went to SLC in 2002 the host city was lined with (I’m assuming) metal barriers covered in Olympic banners. It was beautifully decorated. You knew where Olympic events were even in surrounding cities being held because of the highly decorated gates. Plain metal bars are just tacky.
This is what happens when your government creates divisions amongst people
You live in fear all the time
1980's and 1999's was a much better time and money
The future is very bleak and the Olympics was just a waste of time
Another WEF experiment or maybe climate change embargo.
France should never have the Olympics ever again
Communist Guidelines forbid me to make truthful comments.
