France lockdown: What are the rules and where is it in place?
Paris is among 16 regions of France being put into a third lockdown over rising Covid-19 cases.
The measures come into place from Saturday and will remain in place for at least four weeks and include around 20 million people.
On Thursday Prime Minister Jean Castex said: "The pandemic is accelerating.
"The situation is worsening and it is our responsibility to act so it does not get out of hand."
It comes after Italy also plunged into a third lockdown as a third wave of the pandemic grips the continent.
