All the testimonies show the boredom that affected all the characters in the capital. Journalists, foreigners, certain politicians often met in the evening in the salon of the Hotel des Ambassadeurs, but it must be clear that nothing was happening there. Austerity in Vichy was in order, out of solidarity with the prisoners and those who suffered throughout the country, but also as a consequence of the restrictions and supplies that appeared in the winter of 1941, an exceptionally cold winter. From 1941, Pétain even had to organize two ceremonies to present his vows. In addition, the clergy had regained power in this capital and participated in the control of good morals. Christmas 1940, which the journalists celebrated loudly and with a lot of alcohol, caused a scandal. All the people occupied themselves as they could by participating in charities, galas, the funeral of the Japanese ambassador, the Orthodox mass on February 6, 1942 in honor of the seventeenth birthday of King Peter II of Yugoslavia or at the wedding of Danièle Darrieux with an attaché at the Embassy of the Dominican Republic.
