As Parisians continue to ignore laws that ban smoking inside closed off cafe terraces, the Town Hall has sent a reminder to police that they shouldn't hesitate to crack down on both the smokers and the cafe owners not abiding by the rules. Val says the Local tells us this, but it is not just in Paris this happens. In many local bars smoking carries on as normal inside the bar and on the terraces. We have found with young family here on miserable wet days we thought twice about going in to local smoke filled bars. Has anyone dared to say to a bar owner, this is supposed to be a smoke free zone? Personally I do not mind so much on terraces.
