If you are planning on going to France, here are the latest news for you. Museums and restaurants are reopening. At the time of publishing this post, the case rate in France has fallen by 39% in the last 14 days.
Three Stages of Reopening
May 19, 2021
The first phase of reopening will allow locals to move around more easily and enjoy life after months of severe restrictions. Outdoor seating at cafés and restaurants will be available to groups of six and fewer. Museums and cultural institutions will reopen. The evening curfew will be extended from 7pm to 9pm. That’s great news for those living in Paris, but it will be another three weeks before tourists are allowed into the country. The current restrictions barring travelers from the United States (before June 9) are outlined here: https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/coming-to-france/coronavirus-advice-for-foreign-nationals-in-france/

This second phase of reopening will permit vaccinated travelers to enter the country. Restaurants will be allowed to fully open with indoor seating, and the evening curfew will be extended to 11pm. Visitors to Paris will be able to take advantage of open restaurants and museums, not to mention strolling along the Seine and lounging in the Luxembourg Gardens.

At the end of June, the curfew will be done away with entirely, and there will no longer be any restriction on the number of people gathering indoors. These liberties may be reversed if the COVID incidence rate exceeds 400 infections per 100,000 inhabitants or if there is a threat of saturation of intensive care services, according to Macron.
