Hundreds of thousands of vacancies are clogging up the hospitality sector across Europe as the industry struggles to cater for the increase in tourists.
France has an estimated 250,000 vacancies in restaurants and cafes, with businesses warning they are ill prepared for an influx of tourists in the summer now that Covid-19 restrictions have lifted.
French businesses owners blamed president Macron's Covid furlough scheme, which allowed staff to stay at home on full pay during the pandemic.
The French president himself described it as the most generous scheme in Europe. But many never went back to the industry.
