PARIS (Reuters) - France will put restrictions on people travelling abroad to find ski resorts not subject to COVID-19 shutdowns this Christmas, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday.

"If there are countries, within or outside the EU, that keep their ski resorts open, we'll put in place control measures to deter our citizens from going to areas where we think there is a risk of infection," Macron told a news conference.
