This Saturday, May 18, in the morning, at the Jardins de la Fontaine, the elected officials, around Mayor Jean-Paul Fournier, presented the medals for the 2024 feria.
Despite the threatening weather and the drops of rain, the assistance was well provided this Saturday, May 18 morning near the temple of Diana, in the Gardens of the fountain, for the presentation of the medals of the 2024 feria.
An important moment that Jean-Paul Fournier is particularly keen on. The mayor emphasized “the dedication of everyone during the feria who do what is necessary to bring this event to life”.
The mayor thus called the recipients on stage, including the prefect of Gard Jérôme Bonet, before his deputies did the same. Franck Proust, Julien Plantier, Richard Schieven, Sophie Roulle and Valentine Wolber in turn presented medals to municipal agents, soldiers, security representatives and folk groups (with for the occasion some notes offered by fife players), firefighters, rescuers.
