Tourism on Schengen business visa?

Tourism on Schengen business visa? - Woman Walking in the Street during Night Time

I am an Indian citizen living in UK on a tier 2 visa. Recently, I have received Short stay Schengen visas (multiple entry, business trips for 1 year) for travelling to France. (Applied at French embassy Edinburgh)

Unfortunately, the tickets I have provided in my visa application needs to be cancelled as my business trip got cancelled. And I will be travelling for business probably after 4 months.

So, for now, I am planning my first entry to France for tourism purpose.

Is it okay to travel with Short stay Schengen visas (business) for tourism purpose for the very first entry to France?

I am worried because my itinerary provided for visa application is changed now. And moreover it is now for a tourism purpose.
