PARIS (Reuters) - Winter sport resorts will not be able to reopen before the end of the year, French President Emmanuel Macron said in a televised address to the nation on Tuesday.

"The government has held talks with the industry, but it seems impossible to consider reopening for the year-end festivities," Macron said, adding that it would be preferable to reopen in January under good conditions and in coordination with other European countries.
