The French plan to enjoy their last evening before curfew

Restaurants, aperitifs, raclette or quiet at home ... Some French people enjoy their last evening before curfew -

• The curfew begins in nine French metropolises this Friday evening from midnight.

• The inhabitants of these areas of maximum Covid-19 alert told us how they planned to enjoy their last evening.

• Raclette, restaurant, aperitifs, nothing… Everyone has their own evening.

Last moments of freedom.

The curfew announced by Emmanuel Macron begins this Friday evening at midnight in Ile-de-France and in the metropolises of Grenoble, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Lyon, Montpellier, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse and Rouen.

There are therefore a few hours left for residents after their work to enjoy a night reunion with friends or relatives after 9 p.m. one last time.

asked its readers what their plans were.

For some, we rush to at least make “the first raclette of the season” a little before the hour.

"But not the last", specifies Line who respects the recommendations of the government by meeting only with six around the apparatus heating cheese.

For Françoise, it will be a meeting "in a neighborhood pizzeria with four girlfriends", at 7:30 pm, just to make the most of it.

"Evening until 6 o'clock"

For others, it's a chance to take the first test of what their future social life might look like in the coming weeks.

“The plan is quite simple and aims to consider tonight as a test bed for the next few weeks: an evening until 6 am.

If there is success, it will be repeated every weekend, or even during the week if necessary, ”says Thibault, who obviously has a little trouble accepting the government's decisions.

For the more reasonable, who do not want or cannot last all night, everything is a question of organization: "We are going to celebrate this last evening around a meal with friends and we will stay asleep on their sofa", explains Frédérique who specifies that she is moving with duvet and cushions.

"What do we appreciate the calm"

However, these restrictions do not only make people unhappy.

“What do we appreciate the calm.

In any case, there are already a lot less people hanging out in the streets, since the announcement of the pandemic.

So that will further accentuate the silence, ”rejoices Danielle who plans an evening by the fire with small stews and a bottle of wine to celebrate her thirty-two years of marriage (she has therefore managed to get married).

No big changes either for Sandrine, 49, who was already going out shortly after 9 p.m.

“On the other hand, for my 20-year-old sons, I find it very ugly indeed”.

wishes them in any case a beautiful evening, whatever their plans.
