Topics: FRANCE    FINE   

Individuals will continue to be fined €135 per first infraction. This includes being outside with an incomplete or incorrect confinement form, not respecting stricter measures such as a local curfew, or taking part in an event with more than 100 people.

The fine for a second infraction within 15 days of the first is €200, rising to €450 if it is not paid on time.

If four breaches are recorded in a 30-day period, the punishment can rise to a fine of €3,750 and six months in prison.

Business owners can also be fined for banned commercial activity, such as opening a shop or bar to the public in contravention of orders to close it.

Fines cannot be demanded by police or gendarmerie in cash, on-the-spot. They are sent by post and paid later.
