The abrivados at the party

#GARD The Devaux herd won the final of the 2024 Nîmes Métropole abrivado competition by a very close score on Saturday, on a demanding course in the city centre of Nîmes, from the arenas to Carré d'Art. The conclusion of a season of abrivados that has animated so many votive festivals in the communes of Nîmes Métropole. The members of the jury, divided into seven points of the course, noted the enmeshing (bulls well supervised) until the finish, the attire of the herdsmen, the harnessing, as well as the behaviour of the horses and riders. In this little game, always impressive, it was the Devaux manade that distinguished itself, for the third time.

The Fair at carnival time

#MONTPELLIER This Saturday was placed under the sign of carnival at the Montpellier Fair which continues until October 21. The Federation of Festivals, carnival and festivals of Hérault thus paraded at the Parc des Expositions de Pérols taking a hundred representatives from several municipalities of the department, under the captivated gaze of the public. Some 500 exhibitors, including Midi Libre, are present at the Montpellier International Fair around five universes and pavilions (Italy, Canada, Polynesia, Morocco and Tunisia).

The figure: 450

#LOZÈRE On the banks of the Lot in Mende, volunteers collected some 450 kg of waste on Saturday during a clean-up operation. An awareness-raising operation also aimed at the population so that this figure can decrease from campaign to campaign. No hazardous waste and relatively clean banks of the Lot this Saturday, but if the observation is still there: “For some people, thinking about the common good is not easy. “

A new campus ?

#BÉZIERS Eight personalities, executives from the Shanghai MTC University, hospital directors, “high-ranking medical dignitaries Chinese”,were present Saturday in Béziers as part of the establishment, in the Mazeran area, of a university of traditional Chinese medicine, coupled with a clinic and a space reserved for the inclusion of people with disabilities through animal mediation. The training would last five years, including two years in Shanghai. Local investors are said to be attracted and ready to finance the construction of this campus where the project leader, osteopath Yves Le Gourieres, hopes to welcome the first students in September 2025.

LGV: a thousand opponents in Gironde

#TOULOUSE-BORDEAUX Around 1,000 to 1,500 people gathered on Saturday at the call of the Soulèvements de la Terre and the collective “LGV non thank you”to protest against the Toulouse-Bordeaux high-speed rail line. The demonstrators gathered on private land in Lerm-et-Musset, south of Bordeaux. The prefecture stated that several shots were fired at a helicopter that was flying over the site at night on Friday evening. Neither the aircraft nor the crew were hit. An investigation has been opened. Prefect Étienne Guyot denounced “these intolerable actions and gives his full support to the police”. A police vehicle was also damaged during this gathering, which was not authorized by the prefecture. The first works have begun north of Toulouse and development permits are expected by the end of November. The LGV construction site is scheduled for 2028. The rail link, supported by the Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine communities, will make it possible to reach Paris in three hours and ten minutes from 2032.
