The head of government is expected around 10:30 a.m. at the Pirou whelk fair. “It was an unexpected visit that I learned about today”underlines Noëlle Leforestier, the mayor of Pirou contacted by France Bleu Cotentin this Friday evening. “That the Prime Minister chooses a small town like ours is an honor. We were strongly affected by storm Cyaran last November and we are on a coastline very affected by erosion. At the same time, our territory is committed to find solutions. It’s good that he comes to see it.”continues the local elected official.
