Tous les lundis, il pose ses ventouses sur l’actualité locale. Ce 6 mai, le poufre se demande si Sète va s’enflammer pour le passage de la flamme olympique le 13 mai…

We see many wondering about the real interest in seeing the Olympic flame carried along the Canal Royal and at the top of Saint-Clair on May 13. However, we are talking about a meeting linked to the biggest sporting event in the world! If our pouffe had been chosen to pass the torch through the streets of Sète, I am sure he would not have said no to the idea of ​​placing his tentacles on the Olympic torch!

60 000 € for Sète Agglo

In the meantime, there are some who cough when we tell them the cost of the affair. On the Agglomerate, it’s 60,000 euros; (spread over two years), not counting the additional costs of security and festivities. This is, at a minimum, the price of hosting the start of a stage of the Tour de France. The community saw it as an opportunity and a fantastic showcase for the area.

The ball is in the Sétois’ court

Other elected officials, all over France, denounced an "exorbitant" price, arguing, in short, that the passage of the flame is a non-event& ;hellip; except for those who wear it! So, are the Games really worth the effort?? The guy wants to think so. We'll see what the Sétois think about it on May 13…hellip;
