read a full cinematic personality of french television. since the beginning of the lockdown you've been working to alert the government. and the general public. the state of the restaurant industry. how threatened is ththe restaurarant industry in france. welell t ths seriouslyy threatened and they've been that way ever sincnce the beginning off t this crisis w with ththe first to cl. and wewe're going to be the last open. so throughout that in topic period as you can imagine it's really tough. g. obviously it right yeah. so i had a bit of an outbtburst i it was a wave event to take stock of what was going to happen in. the weeks to come. because we have restaurants on his. way to help low cash levels and up because they've already suffering for thee past y year and a half on.f a of ththis. that have a goingnn since it because of the. a bit

alarmist and some people said that- isn't optimistic b but really i am fundamentally optimistic but i was just saying what the truth was and if i was going to say. and who was. good the message is heard and they'y're being reactions bt now what we need to do is come up with solutions. and so what exceptions go can you think of you propose some solutions you have seven protocols that you feel presented because the health protocol has to be set up in order to be able to re open. these restaurants. so you've presented a protocol to the government. what does this critical consist of october with the workgroup we came up with a health protocol and it was going to be sent through to the government because they aren't as to come up with one we came up with seven in fafact. and the government is going to particleles together and they'll publish a a report on the different protective measures to be implementeted but before that the f first thing thahat hs to be donee and the first thingg that we actually worked on without w working groupup. and e

i'm talking about in twenty thousand at rest and is set down as a a major conversation but to talk about it and we hahd toto come up. compananies wouldo have to be. prolonged closure. and how we can support them so we have to come up with supportive measures for thosose businesses. and then on thahat we'l'll be ablee to bring in the protective measures because without alall of that we won't e able to open up shop. and bought a new can you tell us about these measures how can we- reassure customers. can cause them to come back to the residence what could be set up. the bronx might become as normal as possible a bit like theyey were before in n any cas. itit's gonna be back to normal willll be back toto what it was befofore. in t the way we wouldd know. because we're going to have to have social distancing in place you don't havee to be spspaced between the tables. but again all thehe measures that we took that we don't yet have the main star and that's going to coco a littlee later being able

to talk about plexiglass. and these are t things i spokoke a t it about us but remember we're talkingg about lively venues where they used to be so much hubbubub. people with convert ad does a litittle chit chat. but now these restaurants going to look more like retirement homes are not hospitals. so it you know it's quite concecerning for a lot o of people but i want to reassure. future clients. me too you know we don't have to reinvent things.s. who knows wht we're gonna do this in our- points racking out brains are different too much. because what wee need to what we know how to do is we know how to cook. that's our job. we know how to create a good environment and enjoyable thing you're- about what having customers c coming through o our doors and welcomeme them. into a warm environment t that's whahae can do. so we need to result in thatat we are going to put in the- necessary health measures to make susure that everything s safe. hygiene is something we knowow how to do it but we're going to have to do that. tenfold but to do that we're gogoing to have to be able to train pepeople and we will. we'e heard.d. but the custotomer's gg to want to come back into our

restaurants. but really i havave no d doubt about that. i will have to admit though that things will bebe a little difffferent. the otherer thing . how long is this all going to a lostst its- leaders. have a restaurant owners felt supported by the government since the start of the lockdown. the government has been supporting as- use unlesss the government asked us for our help. because they realize that there werere a few things slipping through the cracks but they need h help with.h. we were there for that. but thehe government really understooood y outburst and they saw how serious the situatition wasas. h yep yep it could a also and they took things in hand. but obobviously the g government thy have so much they need to focus on shore we putut the restaurant interested but you've got terrorism as a state. much bigger i industry. silico movementnt and i think what we want to see is. all players playing that part insurers banks. thehe european funds as well as some bait muchh outut there e some of the schemes and measureses that can be put in place that can provide true. help to out t into. me r reallyi

do strongly believe thahat the gun is. . its job. and are offering. . to a the- of t the along on a- costs. which is going to be a- cost. which is just another reaeason for uss tt haviving to go back to business. what about restore tools morale you've spoken to restaurant owners very regular session a workgroup. do they hold on t to hope that they s still optptimi. all up morale could be any lolower. to be perfectly honest thirty two suicides in our ranks. and for us it's awful it's. what i i really truly fear is that this crisis is going to have worse effects aftfter the crisis then actually during the crisisis yes just dump them but maybe i'm wrong and i sincerely hope so. what in this session i see these messages coming in on a a daily basis. jane day o outi have messages coming from restaurant owners s who in didistress they don'n't know how th can mananage they don't know

who to call for help. yoyou seea and it's r real tough. it's touh to get those mesessages because pepeople if i can. facing bankruptcy on topop of that they have really. losing morales. in the pits and they're waiting for solutions to come forward. but those solutions just aren't coming fast enough. he took a few days ago the prime minister edouard philippe stated that in departments that would remain green for the following three weeks. restaurants might be able to be re opened. at the beginning of june this might be a first step a small glimmer of hope of course one still must remain very cautious is this something that is really short do you and your colleagues. to hear this. we s sure. indeed it is a s step in n the right directionn. first step but when we opepen on but t that dependsn hohow disciplined the french men and women can be all those men and women going back to work now is considered and i think itit's- a litmus test for. but i but the president of the f frenh repupublic waseryy clear when we spoke w with him b by video conference in april. he said

that there's no point inn opening up. a restaurant if we're going to close d doors again in twowo weeks. because that would have beenen far wors. coconsequences but i think we need to be cautious we need to be very cautious we need to ensurere that when we openn doo. that will be doing so in the right condnditions. we need toto hahave the rig supupport meaeass becaususe obviously our bususins is going to be facing a drop by 50% if not more of. a regular business. i've heard people talklking about aa phase by pha. re o opening way beach side results will open f first and others later you will see how it's going to happen. but as i said was still waiting for concrete. propositions and we'll put that. s. people. if you in the locked. is do you. the p people do you think thehel be disciplined enough yes i really do hope so. ieally do hope saidd i have great faith as well. that they will have to be disciplined becausese obvioususy our very future depends s on it. this i is socks well we live inn and thatat's w what we have been waiting jones saying we're going to see how the virus

changes i in the future that its also cause for concern as wellll it's really challenging for a lot of people we understand because i've seen pictures of people in pubublic transport. it's's tough it's close we have to be very careful to protect ourselves and prorotect our lovd ones when the most it's goes without saying. i in couountries such as germany switzerland spain some restaurants have reopened- in certain regions i'm very gradually but would you think of this do you think the to the france is being too cautious. you know you can. always ask a question. havave we done to much has no nothing done- will coununter sheep late. it was something more i think if we look to spain for example there is looked on as is without stricter than in france and let the spaniards followedd it to the lesseser. don't tell see they gogoing to u us to obse what's happening elsewhere and in thatt time thatt wee seeee germany as well germany is s a little different because the

insurance companies were forced to actually help cover lost business costs for all companies. bars restaurants cafes all of them so that they can have some breathing room m o that when they opened up they could do so comfofortably that's what we are lacking we hope to. welcome to being installed chef of having the title of my over a problematic to french tv personality and beieing a high level a athlete you'll also a musician you play the drums. if your- grupos chief again. i knknew to call the undnder prese by bowie or will next. will about it. and also did not from

the beginning of this video. the message is clear the light goes on your main said foss is a different way to spread your message. we look at what actualally started with my band. to work on a cover of let it be by the beaeatles. i w was perfet timing because it was right in time with this fiftieth anniversary if they break up. so basically. it was a perfect match because we're going through an epidemic. virus that was infecting so that we had to be put into lockdown. and n now. ththe message is one that we e e to have it that we have to. mention with the under pressure that we have to be careful. be very cautious. but if i realize you're to play that video the because the morning i was actually. a teacher which i did very but my wife said no put a button down shirt. it will be interesting. yeah it would have en funny it would have been fighting. but it was really aside from the messages that i

want to convey. it's a way for me a bit of fun in the day because my days are spent. second let me doingg so much.h. the most i'm not really sure that more when i get up to the moment i i go to bed i'm in conversation with. government ministers other restaurant owners on finding ways on how to move forward and it takes up so mucuch of f my time and enery and concentration exactly so central i it is also. issue so much my energy. goes into that that. you know sometimes i just need to observe certain questions let's go some expression. of some. for me to relax and so important for sure done with your with you completely thank you very much for having giving us your time we hope. that old french restaurants and all the restaurants around the world. being the- fighting all these restrictive we'll be able to reopen soon so that we can make the most of them thank you very much for talking to us. it will pull through. we hope s so indeeded. have a very good day n
