A year that leaves a bad taste
And we’re still thinking about 2024 at the start of the year. It must be said that the Landes have paid a heavy price, seeing the disappearance of two of their great representatives.
On one side, a prestigious chef, Michel Guérard, who had been collecting three stars in Eugénie-les-Bains since 1977. On the other, a popular face, Maïté, who had entered the hearts of a good number of viewers thanks to his shows, his talent and his banter. The first left on August 19. The second followed him almost four months later, on the night of December 20 to 21. On the one hand, the champion of slimming cuisine. On the other, a supporter of generous tambouille. Two ways of conceiving gastronomy and as many personalities who will be missing from our department in 2025. And you will then ask us why we don’t seem to be happy with our plate…

The tolera of Capbreton, popular mass
Did the burning of the Capbreton tolera, on the evening of Tuesday, December 24, mark the start of the campaign for the municipal elections of March 2026? For his first as mayor, Louis Galdos was able to count on the presence of Jérôme Daret, the best rugby coach in the world, the arrival of around 3,000 people and even a sound and light, projected on the facade of a church yet in full mass.
The “Gloria, in excelsis Dios” chanted by the faithful preceded Mariah Carey and her “All I want for Christmas is you”, played by the sound system from 7 p.m. to signify the start of the entertainment. While this disharmony has caused some teeth to grind in the pews of Saint-Nicolas Church, it could nevertheless serve the interests of one of those present. The name of Mackowiak, the leader of the Cape Breton municipal opposition, surely in search of votes, was indeed applauded at the end of the service, through a happy lineage praised by the priest: “Let us thank Nicolas Mackowiak for coming specially from Paris to musically animate our mass. »
No choice for the date
In order to limit the number of people who come to bite into the buffet and tap into the bottles served during its greeting ceremony, the City of Dax seems to have applied a safe recipe, on the occasion of this 2025 vintage. For this evening organized at Colette-Besson sports complex, Wednesday January 8, certain invitations were canceled on Friday January 3… While the card indicated that it was necessary to confirm your presence at the wishes of Julien Dubois “before December 23”.
Revealed on Facebook by a former socialist municipal councilor, the thing prompted a comment from one of her successors, Yves Loumé: “Completely abnormal, but so predictable; It’s lamentable!!! » Obviously, there is a problem of concord in Dax… and of concordance of times.
It smells like pine!
On December 12, during the 2024 Mont-de-Marsan Municipal Council, Mayor Charles Dayot promised to send “under the tree” the report from the DGFIP (General Directorate of Public Finances) to the opposition. The latter, in fact, was clamoring for this document, in order to finally know the state of the City’s finances. Upon further information, it appears that this report has not been sent to everyone…
“As I believe in Santa Claus, I waited until the 24th to see if the gift package would land under my tree. But you have to believe that I was not a good child,” quips Frédéric Dutin. The opposition municipal councilor, declared candidate for the 2026 municipal elections for the PS, concedes however that only Jean-Noël Capdeville received it, at the Nouvel Élan populaire. One in six. There is definitely an arithmetic problem at the Mons town hall…
