Restaurants in Paris are forced to serve dinner as early as 5 p.m. to comply with the new 9 p.m. curfew. Business owners like Jaffer Saloum describe the stress of rushing service and clearing establishments by 8:30 p.m. to avoid fines exceeding 100 euros. Despite the crowded conditions during early hours, the streets and metro systems become deserted immediately after the curfew begins.
