The presence of wild boars in the city causes a lot of damage.

During the night of Thursday to Friday, a family of wild boars crossed the Nîmes ring road and the Paloma roundabout. Here is the result this Friday morning.

Astonishing? Absolutely not: the damage caused by wild boars is increasing in Nîmes and the surrounding area, angering local residents, creating cleanliness concerns with trash cans ripped open in scrubland neighborhoods, and endangering motorists. And also leading to tensions over compensation.
