Reconfinement in Paris: "The feeling of being in a tunnel without seeing the end of it"
The French government announced Thursday evening a third confinement in a year, more flexible than the previous ones, evoking a "third wave" in the country which is approaching the 100,000 dead mark.
More than 20 million French people will thus be reconfigured for a month from Friday.
Essential schools and businesses (including bookstores) will remain open.
