À terme, le matériel de tous les établissements de la Comédie et de l’Esplanade sera homogénéisé. La Ville l’espère dès le 21 juin pour la Comédie. Midi Libre – GIACOMO ITALIANO

Part of the future furniture of the Comédie was presented to the cafe owners of the place. The Metropolis wants their establishments to be equipped with them on June 21, the hoped-for day of the inauguration of the first phase of the work on the Esplanade. A deadline which, after the last meeting, seems difficult to meet.

Ideally, according to the schedule set by the Metropolis, everything should be scheduled for next June 21, the hoped-for day of the inauguration of the first phase of work on the Charles-de-Gaulle esplanade. Because, as we know, in the long term, all establishments at the Comédie and the Esplanade will have the same furniture: a single specification for everyone and including chairs, armchairs, sideboards, tables and parasols. For the Comedy, the date is set for June 21. Problem: the supplier(s) have not been chosen and the orders are far from being in the pipeline. Worse: the prices have not been fixed.

As the days pass, meeting the deadline seems to be a challenge. For establishments as well as for service providers visibly. "It's going to be complicated, confirms one of the cafe owners present Friday at the last meeting to present the prototypes. The service provider told us that the aluminum profile, square tubes of a very specific size, which had been selected by the designer did not exist in standard format. So you have to have it made."

Second element raised by the professionals present on Friday: "Saccording to the manufacturer, adds another coffee maker< em>, it takes an hour and a half to make a chair. The request is for a thousand chairs, that's 1500 hours in total. This corresponds to a team of ten people working on it for a month". The countdown is on.
