the French celebrated despite the health situation

Nothing stopped the French on Friday, December 31, to celebrate the transition to the New Year, not even the health context. “People manage to party casually, and forget everything that happened“, says a passerby, on the Champs-Elysées (Paris). But you have to slip into the apartments, to really feel an almost” classic “New Year’s Eve atmosphere.”It’s a good time shared by everyone, it’s a good start“, comments a party animal.

In a cabaret in Dijon (Côte-d’Or), customers are a little disappointed not to be able to wiggle their hips, but enjoy the show. The novelty of this New Year: the random control of health passes, as was the case in this bar in Mandelieu-la-Napoule (Alpes-Maritimes). “They do their job, now we want to partyr “, admits a customer. At 2 am, bars and restaurants closed their doors, leaving the festivities to continue outside.
