It seems they are new. The statement from LYS, in French: Le préfet délégué David CLAVIÈRE et notre Président T. Bertolus inaugure nos SAS PARAFE à reconnaissance faciale. Ce nouvel équipement permet aux passagers détenteurs d'un passeport biométrique de passer 5fois + rapidement le contrôle frontière.

We'll see how it goes. I don't have any flights planned for LYS in the immediate future, but someone will surely report.
