Access to the hamlet is again impossible. The services of the department are expected from Tuesday morning, for the first repairs. “I’m a little demoralized, but I’m going to roll up my sleeves, says Christophe Boisson. With the technical staff we will try to help the inhabitants as much as possible.
It’s really catastrophic, I don’t see how we can do it, it will never be resolved during the day, unless the army brings us a bridge! We are in the Cévennes so I think everyone will help each other. “
The Gard remains, however, in yellow vigilance floods until mid-morning this Tuesday.
