[CARTE] Deconfinement: what is the 100 km zone around Marseille, Nice, Toulon, Digne, Gap or Avignon?

Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced it before the deputies, Tuesday April 28: after May 11, “it will again be possible to move freely, without certificate, except for trips more than 100 kilometers from home, which will only be possible for a compelling, family or professional reason “.

The map above shows the radius of 100 kilometers around the main cities of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. For the time being, the government has not specified whether the radius of 100 km would be calculated as the crow flies, from one city to another, from the home or not or where if the distance would be calculated for example by depending on the journey by car or train.

Beaches will not be open to the public until June 1 “at least”, announced Prime Minister Edouard Philippe. Some PACA cities are getting impatient, others still wonder how they could handle the influx of tourists.
