Single-use plastic bags have been banned in France starting around 2016 and fully implemented in 2021/22. Reusable bags need to be paid for.

France really went further than other countries with their regulations on single-use plastic for just about everything. Kudos to 'em!

I've got several typical French shopping bags, but my go-to bags are still IKEA blue bags! Those are incredible and virtually indestructible.
