The evacuation, which promised to be delicate due to the determination of certain people not to leave the area, ultimately took place peacefully and did not require the intervention of the police.
The prefecture made 47 hotel rooms available, in accordance with the number of people taken care of the night of the fire, and not all of them were occupied. 9 accepted this proposal. All other people left the site voluntarily. A majority of people have in fact opted for other rehousing solutions, with relatives or in other squats in the Metropolis.
The reception time in hotels will allow a social and administrative diagnosis to be carried out to consider suitable individual solutions.
Metro closed
Access to the former boarding school remains prohibited, due to the significant risk of collapse, which required the closure of metro C between Cuire and Hénon stations. Before the fire, this building was already earmarked for demolition to make way for social housing and the disaster should accelerate this operation.
