The second phase of deconfinement, thanks to a "strong" improvement on the front of the Covid-19 epidemic in France, is finally here!

Sports halls, Casinos, or Thalassos to give you a makeover…

20 Minutes 

takes stock of the long awaited reopening this Wednesday.

Curfews and restaurants

The curfew will (finally) be postponed from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and restaurants will once again be able to welcome the public, provided that they respect a 50% reception level.

Something to delight the 60% of French restaurateurs who do not have terraces and who took their troubles patiently.

Fairgrounds, casinos, thalassos and sports halls

After more than seven months of closures, you can now return to train in your gyms, enjoy the indoor swimming pools and relax in thalassotherapy centers.

Do you want to throw yourself headlong into self-bumpers?

This will be possible, since the fairgrounds will also be part of the game.

Amusement parks and trade fairs

Parc Astérix, also closed for seven months, will reopen its doors with a 65% gauge, compulsory mask and marking on the ground to guarantee distance.

Disneyland Paris, the first private tourist destination in Europe, will follow from June 17, although hugs with the famous mascots will remain prohibited.

Trade fairs may also resume.

The annual Vivatech technology forum will thus be one of the first trade shows to be held, from June 16 to 19.

Access to this event, for which a maximum level has been set at 5,000 people, will be subject to the presentation of a negative test or a vaccination certificate.

Increased gauges for cinemas, theaters and museums

The latter, which were for the moment limited to a reception gauge set at 35%, will now be able to increase the number of visitors and spectators to 65% of their initial capacity.

Tourism and teleworking

The lives of tourists entering France will also be simplified.

They will have the possibility, from June 9, to do without a PCR test with a vaccination certificate.

From July 1, the European health pass will take over.

Teleworking will be made more flexible, with more employees returning to offices.

Each company must therefore determine for its employees, through social dialogue, a minimum number of teleworking days per week for activities which allow it.
