France enters a third lockdown since the start of the pandemic

Returning to the Invalides metro station, in the central seventh arrondissement of Paris, at the beginning of the 7pm curfew after enjoying a sunny day. Hundreds of people gathered in the Esplanade des Invalides, largely eluding the social distancing and the obligation to wear a mask. The French Parliament, not far away, has just approved a third lockdown since the start of the pandemic, in Paris, on April 1, 2021.
