Where to go on vacation when the French are required not to go more than 10 kilometers from their home?

Europe 1 went to meet some of them.

Whether it is with their grandparents, or in the suburbs for Parisians, "even if they are close to home, it's still a vacation", they say.

The time for the Easter holidays has come for the French, confined.

While travel is limited to 10 kilometers around the home, you have to recharge your batteries in a different way, and especially less far.

With grandparents, having a good time with the family, or renting accommodation just a few kilometers from home… Everyone has their own plan to disconnect and go on vacation despite the restrictions.

"As little TV as possible"

"They are my grandchildren. Their parents work at home, it is not easy and therefore the grandmother is called upon", explains this grandmother at the microphone of Europe 1. The program to keep them busy for the next two weeks ?

"The parks" of the Paris region, "when the weather is nice", and "of the kitchen, when the weather is not nice", he says, adding that his only credo is: "as little TV and radio as possible. ".

Little Matteo, for his part, has already planned his activities: "from the Switch: Mario Kart with my father".

A program that his father hastens to qualify.

"Contrary to what he may believe, there will not only be the Switch. There will also be football, which he spends a little at home," he said, adding planning to play Uno, at Monopoly, but also to watch documentaries.

"It's still a vacation"

In a confined France, the range of activities is shrinking, especially for Parisians.

Many of them leave for the suburbs, to go green while respecting the 10 km limit.

"These are people who are very close to us, Parisians who want to get some fresh air and who want to be in the green", explains this host, about to welcome Parisian tenants in his accommodation in Hauts- de-Seine.

"We are still a little privileged, we have a lot of parks".

His next reservations?

A woman and her son, then a whole family.

"We provide them with breakfast, we provide them with a place to eat ... And then, we heat the things they go to look for in the restaurants that are nearby," he says.

"Even though they're close to home, it's still a vacation."
