Since November 1, 1992, French law restricts smoking in all enclosed public places, including on the Métro and in Métro stations. On long-distance trains, certain cars are reserved for smokers and smoking is forbidden in the restaurant cars. Hotels, restaurants and theaters are free to decide how large a smoking area they provide. Espace Fumeur designates the smoking area and Espace Non-Fumeur designates the non-smoking area.
