Police Issued QR Codes to Enter Parts of Paris This Summer
May 14th, 2024Via: Metro:
The capital of France– Paris – will be split into zones this summer, with anyone wanting to enter certain areas required to show a pass on their phone.
Special measures will be in place throughout the city as part of increased security around the Olympic Games, which start in July.
Anyone wishing to enter certain zones, including residents, will have to apply for a special Pass Jeux (games pass) on a platform run by police.
It mostly applies to people driving, but even pedestrians will need to show a QR code to enter an area called the ‘grey zone’ around the River Seine in the centre, where the opening ceremony will take place.
The codes will be checked at access points along the entrance to each zone, manned by officers.
