How long can French curfews last?
French curfews, like those imposed in Paris and Lille, can initially last up to 12 days but can be extended for months by law. Breaking a curfew can lead to significant fines. Prime Minister Lecornu's choice of local curfews over a state of emergency suggests a desire for targeted, rather than nationwide, restrictions.
