The measures include reducing the validity of antigen and PCR tests to 24 hours from 48 hours for arriving travellers and limiting reasons to travel from Britain to France.
“We are going to put in place a control….even more drastic than what is currently in place,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal told BFM television.
“Tourism and business travel for people who are not French nationals nor Europeans, people who are not French residents will be limited,” he said.
