Stade Toulousain. Presentation of the Brennus: roadblocks, searches and pat-downs to access the Capitol

After their victory in the Top 14 final, the Stade Toulousain players will come and commune with their fans and present to them the Brennus Shield – but also the European Cup– this Saturday June 29, 2024, from 8 p.m., Place du Capitole, in Toulouse.

Of the thousands of supporters are expected on the most famous square in Toulouse. And to guarantee everyone’s safety, the Haute-Garonne prefecture has drawn up a whole series of measures.

“High risk of terrorist attack”

In a press release published this Saturday morning, the prefecture teams indicate:

Given the expected crowds and the high risk of a terrorist attack, Pierre-André Durand, prefect of Haute-Garonne, decided to take security measures in a protective perimeter around the Place du Capitole, applicable from Saturday June 29, from 4:00 p.m., until Sunday June 30 at 1:00 a.m.

A protection perimeter is thus put in place. It is delimited by the following roads (which are not affected).

• Foix College Street,
• Grey Penitents Street,
• Taur street,
• rue du Sénéchal,
• Remusat street,
• rue Lafayette,
• rue Ernest Roscach,
• rue du Weight de l’Huile,
• rue de la Pomme,
• Saint-Pantaleon street,
• rue Baour Lormian,
• Saint-Rome street,
• rue des Gestes,
• rue Léon Gambetta,
• Mirepoix street,
• rue Jean-Antoine Romiguières,
• rue Antoine Deville.

Filtering will be put in place to access this area at the level of rue du Taur; rue Pargaminières; rue Lafayette and rue Saint-Rome.

So plan to arrive early, there may be traffic jams to get to Place du Capitole. Security pat-downs, visual inspections and baggage searches are planned.

No fireworks

In addition, prohibitions are imposed within the protection perimeter: prohibition on carrying and transporting fireworks, firecrackers, weapons (real or fake); no dangerous animals; no transport of fuel.
