The French government bars public employees from displaying their religious beliefs on the job.
In 2004, the country banned the wearing of 'conspicuous religious symbols' including the Muslim face veil, known as the niqab.
The ban was eventually extended to schoolchildren and even parents who wanted to accompany classes on trips.
In 2010, the country banned face coverings of all kinds, including masks, niqabs and the full body dress known as a burqa, in public spaces 'except under specified circumstances'.

France: Court judgement in Muslim veil human rights row
Judges ruled today that a decision not to renew a French social worker’s contract, who refused to remove her veil, did not breach human rights law.
In its judgment in the case of Ebrahimian v. France (application no. 64846/11) the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been
no violation of Article 9 (right to freedom of religion) of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The court noted that wearing the veil had been considered by the authorities as an ostentatious manifestation of religion that was incompatible with the requirement of neutrality incumbent on public officials in discharging their functions.
フランスでは中立性の観点から、公務員が、顔面を覆う宗教的装束をつけることを禁止している。ある看護婦が病院でイスラム教のスカーフをつけていたことから、解雇されたが、宗教的自由を侵害するとして、解雇の無効を訴えていたが、欧州人権裁判所は、宗教的自由の侵害はない、として、訴えを退けた、と。
