It is one of the most anticipated events each year in Beauvais ! And for good reason, it is a real step backwards that the Jeanne Hachette celebrations to the inhabitants, immersed in the Middle Ages for an entire weekend thanks to numerous activities and people in costume in the streets of the largest city in Oise.

But this year, for the 552^e editing of the event, the Assault procession will have to review its route through the city center, Sunday June 30 2024, due to the first round of early legislative elections, following the dissolution of the National Assembly by Emmanuel Macron, which will take place on the same day.

Route modified due to elections

But above all, the hundreds of participants in this great traditional parade will have to walk on sidewalks and cycle pathsand not on the road. This year, the procession will take off from rue Saint-Symphorien, and not rue Gambetta.

From 3:30 p.m.the Assault procession will then follow the following route: boulevard Aristide Briand, rue Chevallier, rue Engrand Leprince, Saint-Etienne Church, rue de l’Etamine, place Clemenceau and arrival at place Jeanne Hachette.

“The objective is to do not obstruct traffic residents to the polling stations on Sunday,” explains an elected official close to the organization. Cars will therefore be able to circulate freely in the city center on this day of legislative elections.

But that will not prevent Beauvais residents from celebrating Jeanne Hachette and from being several thousand to enjoy the activities in honor of the local heroine.
