The images generated by journalists to express the confinement give priority to streets, squares, and traffic areas where the usual flows are no longer seen, those whose abundance everyone complains about, especially during dominant tourist activities. We have seen empty beaches, empty streets, empty squares, empty docks, roads without cars, rivers without traffic... These images of cities emptied of all social situations mainly concentrate hyper-central spaces that we analyze to identify ways of producing globality, but also the proximity of daily practices that exclude all reference to tourism. We dissociate the emblems of each part of the world that are actually hierarchical in their presentation, from those shown in the French media regarding the main French cities that systematically recover the prestigious heritage of the past.
