Government spokesman Gabriel Attal put an end to the hopes of the world of culture on Friday in the 13 hours newspaper of TF1.

He announced that it would be "not possible" to reopen cultural establishments on January 7.

The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, had however announced in early December that the situation of cultural places could be re-examined on January 7, 2021 if the health situation linked to the coronavirus allowed it. 

The actors of culture, after the announcements of an extension of the closure on December 10, had expressed their discontent during demonstrations.

An appeal to the Council of State was also filed to be finally challenged.
