- Authorities fear that French people will be tempted to go on vacation, despite the confinement.
- In fifteen days, 5,950 infringements were noted in Loire-Atlantique.
“No, Loire-Atlantique cannot be a place of destination. While Zone C has been on vacation since Friday evening, the authorities fear that a wave of Parisians will once again hit the coast. If the government recently reminded that it is not allowed to change your domicile during the confinement period, even if you have a second home, measures have been taken locally to dissuade "vacationers" to pack their bags.
“Since the beginning of the afternoon and all weekend, a special control device has been deployed by the gendarmerie, announces the prefect Claude d'Harcourt. It is positioned at the start of zone C but also in situ , at tolls and on secondary roads because we know that the users of Waze are numerous. "Reinforced surveillance that will not make a gift, he warns. “Verbalization is done to the person, ie 4x135 euros if there are four passengers in the car. A fine to which will be added the obligation to turn around. "
Prohibition of seasonal rentals
In addition, a helicopter "equipped with a heat detector" will be mobilized to locate "any human presence", and this "even at night". And attention will be paid to the roads because "there is no longer any rail link to these places," says the prefect. To further drive the point home, after the ban on visiting beaches, rivers and forests, a new decree was published this Friday morning with the aim of "prohibiting seasonal rentals". A similar text was signed in Vendée.
While it is estimated that more than 150,000 people joined the department at the start of confinement, the prefect observes that behavior has subsided. “Over the past 15 days, 88,000 checks have been carried out in Loire-Atlantique, calculates the prefect. The number of offenses is 5,950, and has experienced a significant drop in recent days. "
