What is the probability of being checked by the police during an authorized exit during confinement, provided that you can present, on paper or on your phone, your duly completed exceptional travel certificate?
Out of 17 people interviewed at random this Sunday in the Marais, only one was unable to provide her certificate.
And two say they have been checked since the re-containment went into effect on October 30.
A humanitarian executive awaiting her next departure for the Central African Republic, Sarah was checked in front of the 12th century town hall where she had gone to renew her identity card.
“I presented the receipt of my request for papers issued by the town hall as well as my certificate.
The allotted time had passed because I had made the journey on foot from the center of Paris but there was no problem ”, relates this 33-year-old young woman.
Financial analyst in teleworking, Muriel claims to have been checked “rue Montorgueil (2nd arrondissement) where I was shopping.
The police asked me for my certificate and my identity card and everything went well ”.
"No, I have no proof"
Choreographic artist ”, Emilie, 28, enjoys a ray of sunshine at the foot of the 4th century building where she lives while chatting with her friend Léon, 27.
Does she have her certificate on her?
" More or less !
»Exclaims this Parisian, bursting into laughter.
And to explain: "I could have declared a return trip for my professional activity but it is false: today, there is no repetition.
No, I don't have any proof ”.
Recognizing "to take all this a little lightly", Emilie does not hide her annoyance: "This liberticidal confinement which goes hand in hand with voluntary servitude, gives me hives.
Life is getting more and more bland ”.
“Free launches on the art market”, Leon, he took care to fill in his certificate on his phone but remains evasive on the reason for his release.
“I came for a coffee.
I go back and forth between the 11th where I live and the 4th.
We sometimes go out several times a day, it depends on the sun!
», Launches the young man.

"Everyone is outside" ...
Hairdresser currently on short-time work, Alexis, who shares his studio with Mariella, a dentist, is surprised to see so many passers-by in the streets.
“All the businesses are closed but everyone is outside!
»He observes.
And to continue: "At the beginning of the confinement, I did not go out at all but when I understood that people do not respect the device to the letter, that it is quite free and that the checks are not very frequent, I have decided since the middle of the week to take advantage of the time I am out every day to exercise and buy food ”.
Adorned with his exit certificate, Olivier, a 56-year-old entrepreneur, refuses to sink into the disaster: "I live in good health in a comfortable apartment with my ten-year-old son, whom I take to school every morning. .
Every day, I walk on the banks of the Seine or stroll in the Jardin des Arts-Albert Schweitzer (4th century).
And as we can move wherever we want within a radius of one km, according to Google map, I can even go to Place des Vosges!
