Sleep on the spot or brave the forbidden, these French people who will wake up despite everything

A confined New Year's Eve?

A December 31st with a good book, in front of the television, or around a board game with the family?

Very little for them.

Despite a curfew at 8 p.m., the temptation to celebrate the end of this gloomy year 2020 with friends is strong for many French people, weighed down by ten months of restrictions, barrier gestures and deprivation of contact.

Many have therefore planned to meet despite everything, often more than six, to spend New Years Eve together.

Even if it means sleeping there to avoid the fine of 135 euros or feasting until the end of the curfew, at 6 am.

“The period is heavy.

There is a feeling of loneliness, fed up with confinement.

We wanted to do something to mark the end of this year 2020. It's just a matter of spending a little evening with friends, I don't feel like I'm taking a huge risk ”,
