As far as I know, any bags that you receive from any of the grocery stores on island, you have to pay for. I don't know for sure if plastic bags have been banned or not, but they don't give them out for free. I don't think you can even buy plastic bags, other than reusable ones, at grocery stores. That doesn't count the little flimsy things to put veggies in. We put a few reusable bags in our suitcase, folded flat. They take up no space.

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.

And the Dutch government cannot bring itself to ban plastic bags.

And the Dutch government cannot bring itself to ban plastic bags. I understand they did but not well enforced.

Elaine--I wasn't sure if they ever actually banned them or not on the Dutch side. Of course they haven't passed any timeshare ownership protection laws either..
