AT Paris, as part of the day of national mourning in memory of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, a livre d’or for the former President of the Republic is made available in the former Orsay station, transformed into a museum by “VGE” in 1977.
Also in the news, an update on the RER C circulation which should not know a return to normal before “mid-December” according to SNCF. Since December 1, 2020, traffic has been partly cut off and very disrupted on the line following the fall of a beam on the tracks in Paris.
In the Hauts-de-Seine, 60,000 spectators attended the concert the singer Matt Pokora broadcast live from the La Seine Musicale concert hall in Boulogne-Billancourt.
In Seine-Saint-Denis, dealers who came armed with knives to the new Westinghouse neighborhood in Sevran in order to establish their traffic were repulsed by the inhabitants.
Finally, the crisis of Covid-19 got the better of the 86th edition of Paris-Mantes walking. This night event which gathered 4,500 walkers last year is postponed to 2022.
