ON-STREET PARKING WAS FREE IN MANY PLACES DURING THE FIRST LOCKDOWN IN SPRING READER QUESTION: WILL ON-STREET PARKING BE FREE WHERE I LIVE, AS IT WAS IN THE SPRING? It depends where you
live. During the spring lockdown, free on-street parking was widely available across France to support frontline and emergency workers. This time, schools and more businesses remain open, so
there will be more traffic. The _mairies_ of Reims, Bayeux, Perpignan, Hyères et Draguignan, Cannes, Le Cannet, Grasse and Vallauris, have all offered free city-centre parking, albeit for
varying durations and with some exceptions. For example in Biarritz, on-street parking is free but underground car parking is not. Meanwhile, free on-street parking is not available in
Paris, Toulouse, Caen, Nancy, Nantes and Lyon during the second lockdown. Auto-moto.com has a list of locations offering free on-street parking, and you can check with your _mairie_ to find
out if it is available where you are. READ MORE ABOUT FRANCE'S LOCKDOWN: Which shops can stay open during lockdown in France? France lockdown: The exemption forms you need
