Terraces in Paris on May 19, 2021. – Lewis joly
A return to life. Step by step. Date after date. On May 19, the curfew was changed from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., cultural venues partially reopened, and café terraces once again welcomed customers. A real breath of fresh air for millions of French people. In particular young people, deprived of social life for many months.
Next week, June 9, a new “release” is planned: the curfew will be postponed to 11 pm and restaurants will be able to welcome indoors, just to taste a little more of “life before”. All with good weather, the summer holidays fast approaching, and the hope that the vaccination will keep the Covid-19 at bay.
Are you young and have you taken advantage of the reopening of the terraces since May 19? Are you looking forward to June 9? What do you plan to do that evening and the following evenings? What have you missed the most during the past year? The exits ? The friends ? Going out with friends? Do you want to resume the same social life as before the pandemic? Or will it be different? Are you confident for the future?
