Ah how pleasant this ritual is.

A little tour of the Lices market on Saturday morning before a drink on the terrace under the eternal Breton sun.

For the past year, Rennes' largest market has continued to attract thousands of people.

But he had to resolve to do it without the local cafetiers, who had to lower the curtain for three months before reopening this summer and then shutting down again at the end of October.

This Saturday, several of them decided to mobilize to "celebrate" the anniversary of the first confinement.

On March 14, they all had to close shop in the middle of a last night of celebration.

This Saturday, around 10:30 am, they will be standing in front of Les Innocents, an address well known to regulars in the market.

They will offer "a pseudo-terrace" and will offer coffee and refreshments to those who want to stop.

A "symbolic" action but not illegal, unlike what happened a few weeks ago in a restaurant in Nice.

" Especially not.

What we want is to mark the occasion, to show that we are still there.

It's hard, we've been going in circles for a while, ”admits Maxime Samson, the boss of Le P'tit Vélo.

"There are undoubtedly things to be done in the regions which are the least affected"

With his collective "We are all going to drink", he should receive a visit from the mayor Nathalie Appéré and he hopes to send him a little message.

“We are aware that the situation is serious in France, but is there not a possibility of territorializing the restrictions?

There are undoubtedly things to be done in the regions which are the least affected ”.

In Brittany, the incidence rate has been relatively stable for several weeks and remains half the national average.

The region is not under hospital pressure either and regularly welcomes patients from other regions in tension.

On Friday, the mayor of Quimper (Finistère) took advantage of the arrival of the Minister responsible for Small and Medium Enterprises, Alain Griset to submit a formal request: abolish the curfew at 6 p.m. and delay it to 8 p.m.

A question legitimized by the almost unique incidence rate of the department, long considered the French territory least affected by Covid-19.

In a recent interview, an epidemiologist felt that “it was necessary to consider” a reduction in restrictions in Brittany.

While recalling that it would probably be necessary to wait a little longer for the reopening of bars and restaurants.
