At this point, it is still complicated to have visibility on the summer holidays.


Every day, Le Parisien takes action to answer your questions about the coronavirus. Today we are interested in this question from a reader: “Will we be able to go on vacation in July if we stay in France? "

With the confinement which should gradually be lifted in May, the desire for a vacation getaway is becoming more and more pressing. But for the moment, it is difficult for members of the government to position themselves clearly on the issue.

“I understand the impatience of our compatriots, who would like to organize their holidays, but today, what controls everything else is the health situation. Above all, we need to contain it, to make the epidemic circulate more slowly, and from there we can make arrangements when the time comes, "replied Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in charge in particular. tourism.

Still "a collective effort"

"When the sanitary conditions allow it, I am convinced that the French will" want to France "and I hope that they can support hoteliers, restaurateurs, leisure activities, heritage sites that make up the wealth of our territories", continues the secretary of state.

On the side of the Transport Secretariat, the answer is similar. "The time is still in containment, a collective effort that must be scrupulously respected to end this crisis as quickly as possible," reminds the ministry. "The coming weeks will allow us to see more clearly, in particular concerning the transport offer for the summer," specifies the Transport Secretariat.

"Can we book a house, a rental, a camping spot or a hotel in July or August in France or abroad? I fear that it is not reasonable to imagine traveling far abroad very quickly, "said Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.

In any case, traveling abroad seems prohibited for a certain time. In his last speech, President Emmanuel Macron recalled that the borders of non-European countries would be closed until further notice.
