People are trying to get the hell out of the city before these travel bans and lock downs.
There's even been some riots. France apparently likes their liberty and freedom, and get really frustrated when it's taken away.

Escape from Paris: City is gridlocked as tens of thousands flee, stations are packed, violent protests break out and shelves are stripped ahead of month-long lockdown that BANS travel
LINK
Tens of thousands of Parisians last night caused massive traffic jams in a desperate attempt to flee the French capital ahead of the start of Emmanuel Macron's new national shutdown.
Video posted to Twitter shows huge numbers of Parisians attempting a mass exodus out of the city in a bid to avoid the 9pm curfew and the start of the second lockdown from midnight.
The night air was filled with the sound of blaring car horns while social media users estimated that Parisians had created 'hundreds of miles' of gridlock to escape to their second homes in the country.
Revellers also seized the opportunity to spend one last night with friends and family last night before bars and restaurants are closed as the French government plunges the country back into lockdown.
Meanwhile French people emptied supermarkets in a repeat of the panic-buying that swept Europe in March as Parisians and other city dwellers prepared for a month in confinement.
Shoppers stocked up on pasta and toilet roll while people queued outside hairdressers for a final trim. Office workers in the capital's business district hauled their equipment to cars and trains in preparation for WFH.
Emmanuel Macron's draconian measures are due to be enforced until at least December 1, with people required to carry documents justifying their reason for leaving home that will be subject to police checks.
There's even been some riots. France apparently likes their liberty and freedom, and get really frustrated when it's taken away.

Two things that the French know how to do:
1. riot
2. lose wars.
ETA: and blow themselves up/go on stabbing sprees/grope women in the streets.

Well, don't blame the Muslim community in France. They are doing their part in trying to suppress the virus by lopping off people's heads to prevent them from getting it

That one lady in the bottom train pic couldn't leave town without her ficus.

This story should be plastered everywhere this weekend before the coming election. Authoritarian centralized government is not a good thing. Pay attention to who and what you vote for.

Then why live in Paris?

We need everyone to stay home as much as possible and socially distance, so let's make a proclamation that ensures that everyone gathers together like sardines.
Makes sense.

Doesn't this help spread the virus?

What scares me is that this that some American politicians are trying to figure out how to legally do this here.
And judging from what I'm seeing on social media, there are even people who I used to respect that actually support this. "Just two weeks of a draconian shut down". It's like they actually think governments give up power ever.

They probably spread more Covid with that one night of partying and trying to flee the city than they would have just going on like they were.

I don't see much social distancing there
