which municipalities are concerned?

Lyon, Villeurbanne, Vénissieux, Corbas, Givors, Saint-Priest … The inhabitants of all the cities of Greater Lyon will have to respect a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. from Saturday.

Like Ile-de-France and seven other French metropolises, the metropolis of Lyon will be affected from Saturday and for at least four weeks by a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. A measure that concerns of course Lyon but also the 58 other municipalities of Greater Lyon, from Quincieux, in the north, to Givors, in the south.

From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., the movements of the 1.4 million inhabitants of the metropolis will therefore be limited to what is strictly necessary.

However, exceptions to the curfew will be possible, in particular for health or professional reasons. It will also be possible to take a train or plane leaving or arriving after 9 p.m. Another possible exception: seeing a loved one in a situation of dependency or even taking out their pet near their home.

In other cases, fines of 135 euros may be issued to residents of the metropolis who violate the curfew on Saturday and for at least four weeks.
