PARIS — Cafes along the banks of the Seine in Paris normally buzz with activity in the summer, but restrictions ahead of the Olympics have limited movement in the city center, leaving restaurants empty of diners.Police have imposed a security zone along the river, erecting metal barriers to fence off neighborhoods and requiring authorization—passes with QR codes—to enter.
"The worst part is that you have reservations because you have been around for some time already, but people don't know that they need to have a QR code," added Khalil.The opening ceremony takes place on the Seine next Friday, with thousands of athletes and performers involved in the unprecedented event.French officials have said that while there are no specific terrorism threats to the ceremony, it has created an unprecedented security challenge.
