Is it legal to operate a food truck without a health inspection certificate in central Paris?

In central Paris, as in all of France, operating a food truck requires adherence to strict health and safety regulations, which include obtaining a health inspection certificate. This certificate ensures that the food truck meets the necessary hygiene standards set by public health authorities. The process involves an inspection by health officials who assess various factors such as food handling, storage, and preparation practices. Without this certificate, a food truck operator is likely to face legal penalties, including fines or the possibility of being shut down.

Trivia: Paris is known for its strict food safety laws, but it also hosts an annual food truck festival, celebrating the diversity and creativity of street food, which attracts both local and international cuisines.
