More than 1 person in 100 in the Paris region has been tested positively in the past week, according to regional health services.
Most new infections are associated with omicron variants, predicted by government experts will be dominant in France in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the surge in Delta variant infection in recent months has encouraged hospital admission.
More than 1,000 people in France with a virus died during the past week, bringing the victim overall to more than 122,000.
The government held an emergency meeting Monday to discuss the next step.
Some scientists and educators have urged postponing post-holidays to schools, or forcing curfews.
But the Minister of Education said the school must be open as usual January 3, and other government officials work to avoid steps that will hammer economic recovery.
On the contrary the government hopes that the StepPed-up vaccination will be sufficient.
The government encourages the draft law that will require vaccination to enter all restaurants and many public places, instead of the current health pass system that allows people to produce negative tests or recovery evidence if they are not vaccinated.
