For 63 municipalities on the Riviera coast, partial containment must again take place this weekend.
Sunday has also been for all of France for 34 years and its creation by the coffee brand, Grandmothers Day.
An important event for florists who unfortunately will not all be able to take advantage of the opportunity to sell their products, excluding delivery and click & collect, their businesses not having the authorization to welcome customers during these 48 hours.
Some have stepped up to the plate.
"I am touched by this request, having recently become a grandfather myself," said Bernard Gonzalez, the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes, on Monday about a derogation to open these shops anyway on Sunday.
"I will look to find a solution," he added.
The mayor of Nice is one of those who made an exceptional opening request for florists this Sunday.
He had, after the announcement of the new restrictions, sent a letter to flower sellers in the Cours Saleya market indicating that only producers and resellers of food products would be allowed to settle, according to information from
Nice-Matin
.
"If the prefect accepts our request, the market will be able to open," the town hall said on Tuesday at
20 Minutes.
Before adding: "The decision is up to the prefect".
