France curfew: The form you need for be out between 18h-06h
People are only allowed to go outside for specific reasons between the hours of 18:00 and 06:00
A national curfew between the hours of 18:00 to 06:00 is now in place across the whole of France.
Not all movement is restricted, however. As reported, people will still be allowed to go out during the hours of curfew for certain specific reasons. If they do, they must carry an exemption certificate - also known as an attestation de déplacement.
The French curfew travel exemption documents, similar to those that were required for all travel during the second confinement period, have now been published on the government website.
Reasons listed on the document for travel during curfew are:
- Travel between home and the place of employment or the place of education and training, and business trips that cannot be postponed;
- Travel for consultations and care which cannot be provided at a distance and cannot be postponed or for the purchase of medicinal products;
- Travel for compelling family reasons, for assistance to vulnerable people or for childcare;
- Travel for people with disabilities and their carers;
- Travel in response to a judicial or administrative summons;
- Travel to take part in missions of general interest at the request of the administrative authority;
- Travel related to rail or air transits for long-distance journeys;
- Short journeys within a maximum radius of one kilometre around the home for the needs of pets.
On all other nights, anyone stopped during curfew who is not carrying a valid attestation, faces a fine of €135, rising to €375 in the event of non-payment within a short time-frame. Second offences within a fortnight will incur a €200 fine, rising to €450; while a third infringement in 30 days could result in a €3,750 penalty and up to six months in prison.
