Thierry Chevard, one of the opponents of these halls, does not hide his satisfaction: "The City did not take into account the needs and fears of residents, particularly in terms of nuisance. So, yes, it’s a victory." As for promoter Thierry Aznar, he explains: "J& I decided to withdraw the building permit since it was under attack. This is a technical withdrawal. We don't know today what we are going to do. We ask ourselves questions. Perhaps we need to revisit the local residents. But if we go back, we will!"
