Holiday departures: the first travellers take to the road
(France 2)
The first vacation departures take place on Friday, July 5. Between political tensions and gloomy weather, the summer break was awaited by all.
Friday, July 5, at the Montparnasse train station in Paris, the first vacationers are leaving. A father wants to forget the worries of city life. High school students, who have just finished their exams, are also leaving. In total, 1.2 million travelers will take the train during this first weekend of departure on vacation. Those who will take the road, however, hope to escape the capricious weather.
They all have the same thing in mind: “no longer think about work, no longer think about school and enjoy“, says a man. Some, already arrived at their vacation spot, still have their minds occupied.”We’re waiting for the elections, and then we’ll see what happens next.“, assures a woman. A trader hopes to launch the season in full. “People will let loose, because they can’t always live in gloom. They will still appreciate the seaside“, he anticipates.
