On May 11, the markets can all reopen, except in the event of a municipal decision. A relief for salespeople and customers.
Édouard Philippe insisted, Tuesday April 28, during his presentation of the deconfinement plan: from May 11, the standard will be the opening of markets and the exception of municipal decrees calling for closures, if sanitary conditions are not not sufficient. This return of stalls to city centers is eagerly awaited by a large part of the French who shop there, as a symbol of community life which is gradually restarting.
“A market is alive. We need to relive a little bit”, estimates a resident of Villefranche-sur-Mer, in the Alpes-Maritimes. In this city of 5,000 souls, the market is an economic necessity, but not only. “On the psychological level, it is also important, since it is a central place, it is a real green lung of the city”, explains the mayor of the town, Christophe Trojani.
