In Paris, due to security borders set by the Olympics, certain areas are now inaccessible without a QR code. Many people discovered it on Thursday, July 18th.

With one week to go before the Olympics, central Paris has been put on lockdown. 44,000 barriers were installed to demarcate safety boundaries. To enter, you now need a QR code, which many users discovered on the morning of Thursday, July 18. Along the Seine, it’s even stricter. No vehicular traffic allowed. All pedestrians without exception must present a pass. The result: During peak tourist season, the pier is completely deserted.

There was no way to enter the restaurant barge without a QR code, so the team contacted customers. Bosses are already expecting severe shortages during the Olympics due to travel restrictions. The daily office at the city hall in Paris’s 15th arrondissement is dedicated to solving the headaches of traveling during the Olympics. Passes are required until the end of the event on September 8th. Police headquarters assured that obstacles would be cleared following the opening ceremony.
