What a great idea this year to have concocted the Pink October walk in Saint-Claude with a stroll through the town of just over 7 kilometers.
This allowed a good number of walkers to discover or even rediscover neighborhoods, passages, alleys, typical of the city, but little used in everyday life. And this initiative was able to show some that the Capital of Haut-Jura is also a city of water. Water is omnipresent in our city, because torrents, rivers, streams and waterfalls are essential elements of its daily environment.
Condat was created in the 5th century by two hermit brothers Romain and Lupicin, around the confluence of the Bienne and the Tacon, the two main rivers, and which became Saint-Claude in the 7th century and is crossed by eleven rivers. This explains its geographic location and the need for the men who lived there to build numerous bridges and footbridges, more than fifteen, of different architectures and periods, in order to make certain access more comfortable, both on foot and on foot. by cart or cart.
Get tested preventively…
There were therefore 500 walkers who started from the Serger stadium, after 10 minutes of preparation in dance and music for this adventure via Ponts and Vaux through the city.
It's a real popular success this year, which may have made some people think that there was a rugby match at Serger this afternoon.
No of course, not on Saturday, it's a great walk for a great cause, that of the prevention of breast cancer, the most common among women, and the leading cause of death from cancer. The leitmotif being: ''Get tested preventively''.
In fact, if it is detected at an early stage, the 5-year survival is 89%. From the age of 25, a clinical examination (observation and palpation) of the breasts is recommended at least once a year, regardless of the level of risk. It can be carried out by a general practitioner, a gynecologist or a midwife.
