Grande Motte beach, May 21, 2020. - Alain ROBERT / SIPA

A big desire to take the air which will finally be (almost) satisfied. During the presentation of phase 2 of the deconfinement this Thursday, and while the last assessments faced with the coronavirus epidemic are positive, the Prime Minister indicated that many places or activities were going to be able to reopen from June 2. Among them, those who undoubtedly give the most desire: leisure.

First relief, obviously, the beaches, even if openings were already effective on the territory. They will be open in all departments from June 2. Ditto for lakes and bodies of water. And for those who absolutely want to go for a quick dip without going to the seaside, head for the pools. They will reopen on June 2 in the green zone, and on June 22 in the orange zone.

For campsites and leisure parks, yes

Good news, too, for camping enthusiasts. A major sector, which represented 129 million overnight stays last year in France. We use the same calendar: opening on June 2 in all departments, except those located in the orange zone, which have an appointment on 22. In mid-May, the 8,000 establishments in France had assured that they had already set put in place a health protocol which "ensures distance", according to their federation.

And as the holidays smell good, the leisure parks will also be able to revive. With strict restrictions: "a maximum gauge of 5,000 people" for "activities allowing physical distance," said Edouard Philippe. Again, those located in the orange territories will have to wait three weeks.

Cape on the colos

Finally, and it is a breath of fresh air for parents who have been daycare for more than two months: the summer camps will reopen in all departments from June 22. "This is good news," said Edouard Philippe on this subject, adding that the children could be enrolled in summer camps or outdoor camps this summer. Colos that welcome 850,000 children each year.

On the other hand, for the time being, because of the gatherings always limited to 10 people, no scheduled opening for nightclubs, game rooms, or even racetracks.
