French bars and clubs could face a blow which will cause the end of their activity with the epidemic of Covid-19 because, according to the collective Culture Bars-Bars, quoted by the magazine Trax for Culture, 30 to 40% of these companies should close permanently, unable to cope with their losses.

Between 30 and 40% of nightclubs and bars in France may not resume their activity after the Covid-19 epidemic, according to the Culture Bars-Bars collective, quoted by Trax for Culture magazine.

The media reports on the huge losses that hit French bars and clubs. Some unions representing these establishments have raised the fact that insurance companies refuse to compensate them.

However, the French Insurance Federation (FFA), quoted by the magazine, stresses that insurers cover risks and not systematic crises.

While the FFA undertakes to contribute up to 200 million to the solidarity fund set up by the public authorities to help microenterprises and the self-employed, the executive director of Sneg & co, the national union for festive places, estimates that this The sum will not be sufficient to cover the losses of festive businesses, which “amount to tens of billions”, according to Trax for Culture.

Currently, Sneg & co is among those negotiating with the state and representatives of insurance companies to break the deadlock, it said.
