Since Monday, the rule for travel within a 10-kilometer radius is over, as is the travel certificate.
Europe 1 went to Gare de Lyon in Paris to find out if some would take the opportunity to leave during this first weekend without kilometer restriction.
REPORTAGE
The forecourt of the Gare de Lyon in Paris has regained its usual effervescence.
Noise of wheeled suitcases on the cobblestones, latecomers who run so as not to miss their train, and especially all those who will be able to travel again, to see their friends or relatives.
Like Julie, 32 years old: "I take advantage of the lifting of the 10 kilometers to go see my family in Marseille. I had not seen them since July, almost. I hope it will make them very happy!"
Since the beginning of April and the reconfinement, the French were subject to travel restrictions with a limit of 10 kilometers.
This weekend of May 8 marks the first weekend for the lifting of the rule, which many Parisians met by Europe 1 in the station intend to take advantage of.

Freedom, "a cool thing!"
"It's really nice to be able to move around again," confirms Sophie, who will also be enjoying the good weather and waiting for her train to Montélimar, happy. "We regain a taste for it and I even think in a slightly more pronounced way, of these simple pleasures in life. We realize that freedom is a nice thing anyway!" They were therefore quite numerous Friday evening, Gare de Lyon, to take the start after long weeks of restriction, with a taste of rediscovered freedom.
