Student parties continue to take place despite the curfew.

Europe 1 followed, in Lille, a police patrol, often called for a reason for night noise.

Because although strongly discouraged by the government, the evenings are not prohibited.

The police can only punish young people who make too much noise.

REPORTAGE

The curfew and sanitary regulations are not enough to prevent young people from partying.

In Lille, as elsewhere, the phenomenon is growing despite the coronavirus epidemic.

In order to fight against these drifts which can lead to the formation of possible clusters, police patrols track down these evenings and the verbalization for nocturnal noise remains, even in times of pandemic, their main tool.

Europe 1 followed them overnight.

A fine of 68 euros for night noise

The routine is often the same: the police are first called by neighbors overwhelmed by the music of these student parties.

"They make java every day", reproaches them a resident of the building.

"We are in full curfew and nobody says anything. I find that it is a lack of respect for the other tenants and for the law", abounds another. 

Once the origin of the noise has been established, the police only have to ring the bell to interrupt the revelers.

One finds behind the doors of the students of commerce, chemistry, medicine.

They are sometimes about twenty crammed into their small apartments without distancing and without masks.

In the private space, nothing can be blamed on them on this level.

The police clarify the reason for their visit: night noise.

They then ask the tenant of the apartment to provide them with an identity document in order to verbalize it: a fine of 68 euros for making too much noise.

And if they don't want to harm anyone, the revelers take it upon themselves to party.

"We need to exteriorize, to de-stress because I find that the psychological situation of the students is abandoned, I find that a pity", justifies the organizer.

"We are counting on you to stop any nuisance", warns the police.

The tenant can only agree: "We are going to cut the music and we are going to bed sir".

In the Lille metropolis, each night, there are more than fifty verbalizations for nightly noise or non-compliance with the curfew.
