Fermé!

The gates are closed.
We (well…only me here) aren’t going anywhere.
Scary times.

Like many other European countries, France is closed.
Well, closed for the most part. Essential trips (Groceries, Doctor, Pharmacy) only. One person at a time, carrying an “Attestation de deplacement derogatoire” and photo ID. No one across the border, unless it’s a French resident returning home.
Some departments are putting up physical road blocks. Macron said because too many people flout the rules (There have been over 80,000 fines!), if you are caught in violation of the rules, you will not only be fined, but go into a database. If you get sick with Covid-19…and you are found to be a rule breaker… your hospitalization costs may not be covered by national health, but will have to be paid for by yourself.

Right now it’s… Je sauve des vies. Je reste chez moi. (I save lives. I stay at home.)

I have plenty of food for myself and the animals, so no worries there at the moment.

We just have to hang in there for now.
