In
"running-in phase"
but indeed mandatory, the health pass was imposed on Wednesday to all visitors to cultural places, cinemas to museums through libraries.
At the Louvre in Paris,
"we began to control health passes from before 9 am when visitors presented themselves spontaneously,"
said Servane de Landsheer, deputy director of public reception and surveillance.

“It's a break-in phase”
for the security guards, she says, but without a hitch.
Foreign tourists, for example,
"to come to France, have already had to show proof"
and they keep it with them.
The museum asks visitors to keep the mask, in the queue as well as inside, even if it is now possible to remove it in places accessible with the sanitary pass.
To do without it is anyway
"not for the moment
", for Anne Mercier, 49, who is visiting Paris with her 18-year-old daughter.
"Knowing who is vaccinated or not is not read on people's heads
.
"
"It might rush"
Less well prepared, young inhabitants of Lille were refused entry to the municipal Jean-Lévy library.
Louis Mocq, 20, presented his QR code which reveals that his second dose of vaccination is too recent.
"I was not aware that I needed the pass ... I understand but I do not find it necessary for the library and common places.
It risks upsetting part of the population, ”
said the student in the preparatory engineering class.

Same disappointment for Younès, a 28-year-old doctoral student, who has only one dose.
"At university, you enter without a health pass!"
, he notes. The mishap also happened at the UGC cinema in Rosny-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis). Marie-Ange Rodrigues, 28, hands her QR code to the deputy director who is stationed at the entrance for the regulation. He asks:
"When was your vaccination?" “I had my second dose yesterday,”
she replies. Alas,
"you need a complete vaccination course plus seven days"
, she hears herself explain.
"It makes no sense !"
, gets angry the young woman, who will not be able to go to see
Kaamelott
.
At Mont-Saint-Michel, where the mask is compulsory given the density of visitors, you need a pass to visit the abbey, something Ghislain Labigne, 39, who came from Caen with his family, did not know:
“We thought that it was still good today ”
.
Nor Paul-Angelo Dell'Isela, a 23-year-old student who is vaccinated, but in the company of unvaccinated:
“It was very poorly indicated.
I looked at the conditions of access and I did not find it, ”he
laments.
"Too bad"
About fifteen kilometers from Lille, the media library L'Albatros d'Armentières (North) has chosen another policy: to stay below 50 visitors.
"Rest assured, even without being vaccinated, you will be able to enter the media library while respecting the gauge set at 49 users maximum!"
, she says on Facebook.

Except that in cinemas, regardless of the crowd, the pass is required at the entrance, willy-nilly.
"In a room of 400 people where there are ten of you, I don't really see what that changes"
, estimates Emanuele Roch, a 43-year-old teacher who came to see
Old
at the MK2 Library (Paris XIIIth).
“For me it doesn't change much, I'm vaccinated, but I find it unfair. It takes a whole organization to get tested and go to the movies. ”
Marguerite D'Almeda, a 23-year-old nurse,
“vaccinated for a long time”
, came to see
Kaamelott
at 8:30 am. She comes
"always early (...) because there is no one there"
. For her,
"sooner or later, people will end up taking off the masks
.
"
With the extension of the health pass, his hope is that more people get vaccinated. But
"it's a shame to get there."
