Many French people celebrated the arrival of the new year on Friday December 31. From Paris to Strasbourg via Schiltigheim, return to a half-hearted New Year’s Eve, under the specter of Covid-19.
In the streets of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), in Normandy or even in Lille (North), the French celebrated despite the restrictions on Friday, December 31. In Paris, tens of thousands of people from all over the world gathered to celebrate. “Frankly, honestly, it’s sad. Usually the Champs-Elysées, it’s lively, we have fireworks, but this year, there is nothing “, laments a man, however.
Others preferred an apartment party after being tested, like a bunch of young people in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin). In Schiltigheim (Bas-Rhin), a family had opted for a gourmet New Year’s Eve. In the bars of the capital, the party was still in full swing when the establishments had to close their doors, a little before 2 a.m. The evening was festive and rather calm across the country, in a France that seemed happy to enter a new year.
