| From Paris to the countryside: Urban exodus, three years after lockdown |
| 2023-03-21 |
| [France24] In March 2020, Paris emptied as the first Covid-19 lockdown was announced. City dwellers fled and sought refuge in the countryside. Three years later, what has become of those Parisians who embarked on a new way of life? And how has the arrival of these "neo-rurals" affected the local landscape? Our team went looking for the answers in the Perche regional park in north-western France, an area where many Parisians have settled. |

| #1 "...there is more rudeness". They're Parisians! It's like the snowbirds in Florida. XD |
