The French government has ruled out another coronavirus lockdown for now but imposed even tighter restrictions to go with the continuing nationwide 6pm-6am curfew.
France's borders will be closed with non-EU countries except for essential travel and anyone coming into France from any country - including EU neighbours - must have proof of a negative PCR test.
Ross Cullen reports from Paris.
