The new rule of 10 km maximum around his home gives some crazy ideas.

Like these two young inhabitants of Besançon, aged 17 and 22.

Monday, they wanted to go to the end of the authorized distance during this new confinement by walking… straight ahead.

Even if it means crossing a river, the Doubs, by swimming.

Fortunately, a passer-by saw them before they drowned in very cold water, reports France 3 Bourgogne Franche-Comté.

The two modern day adventurers were recovered refrigerated by the emergency services, before being brought to safety.
