He is "very unfavorably known to the services with seven mentions in his criminal record. He now has 30 days to leave France."

Mont Aigoual resorts: a season in hell

"We have eight full-time employees, seasonal contracts… And we can’t get there. to bring into play technical unemployment. All this is added to the explosion in electricity prices, insurance, etc. If a ski resort like ours closes, we won't be the only ones…"

In Val d’Aigoual, "only one hotel remains", confirms the mayor Joël Gauthier. "We decided to launch a feasibility study to evolve into four-season activities. We offer hiking activities, but that's not all."

Without phone or internet since October

#GARD. Since mid-October, part of the town of Lézan has been cut off from Internet access. What more than annoys Mayor Éric Toreille, who has increased the number of reminders to the operator Orange. Since that date, nothing. "Orange uses numerous subcontractors and does not provide the means to ensure that they respect their commitments!"

A repair appointment would be set for February 22. "You realize the delays ? Four months after the incident ? " The problem is all the more worrying for the mayor since "several people have remote alarms in their homes which, since then, have not worked more. This poses a risk to their health." Orange claims to have intervened on site but is still awaiting requests for authorization from the departmental council. "My goal is for the repairs to be done by the end of this week", affirms the mayor’s interlocutor. Either by this Friday, February 9.
