Tourism compromised at the Château de Portes this summer

#Alès. The Château de Portes, emblem of the country and the Régordane Way (11th century), will remain closed to the public although, usually, summer tourism is essential. Events organized on site, such as the great medieval festival which last year attracted hundreds of visitors, will also not take place. "It will be a blank year, it’was a difficult decision to make, but it’was not rushed", indicates René Doussière, vice-president of Renaissance Château de Portes, the association responsible for managing the premises. For Patrick Malavieille, departmental elected official and vice-president of Alès Agglo, it is synonymous with "waste" and considers it imperative to set up a "meeting with all the partners" linked to the building. Perhaps for an opening this summer but above all to "determine the future of the castle for the years to come."

Mayors of the Cevennes warn against La Poste

#Lozère. At the end of the departmental postal presence commission, Gérard Lamy, deputy mayor of Saint-Germain-de-Calberte, Patrick Valdeyron, mayor of Saint-Étienne-Vallée-Française, and Jean Hannart, mayor of Sainte- Croix, expressed their concerns about the future of the public postal service. "We are isolated and La Poste is trying to downgrade us to a municipal postal agency, by making us believe that the staff would be ours with more regular openings, said Gérard Lamy. We remain on the idea of ​​a full-time position." A municipal agency would represent a minimum of 12 hours weekly openings, with compensation of 1,500 euros per month and per site, for nine years. Which they refuse.

Mr. DIY: the preferred accidental track

#Bagnols-sur-Cèze. Nothing remains of the Mr. Bricolage store, in operation for 7 years in the Tesan area of ​​St-Laurent-des-Arbres. A fire ravaged the 1,200 m² building and its outdoor space on Tuesday June 4. Firefighters remained on site throughout the night and part of Wednesday morning to secure the scene. Gendarmes from the criminal identification of Nîmes and the Bagnols-sur-Cèze research brigade which is carrying out the investigation were also dispatched to the site. The accidental track is preferred.

A new headquarters for the Angelotti real estate group

#Beziers. This Wednesday, June 5, the first stone was laid on the site of the large-scale real estate project initiated in 2014 by the developer Premalis, from Pérols, which, associated with Angelotti, will see the light of day twelve years later. End of 2026, “Muse” will consist of six buildings for 164 free housing units at the entrance to the town, on the Barba side, more precisely in place of the large plot of land occupied by Gédimat. The first, which will begin around June 15, is devoted to the Égérie residence. Secondly, the land located to the south of the plot, along the avenue, will accommodate the future headquarters of the real estate group, currently located in the ZA de la Ginieisse.

Today’s figure: 4.5

#Sète. In number of hours, the walkout of Keolis Bassin de Thau drivers, Wednesday morning, after an attack the day before. A 35-year-old driver was grabbed by the collar by a person refusing to pay his ticket. The drivers exposed their "fed up" in the face of the increase in &quot ;incivility", most often insults. An attack deemed "inadmissible" by Nobert Chaplin, transport delegate, and mayor François Commeinhes, also president of the Agglo.< /p> I subscribe to read more
