A real Oscars-style ceremony to denounce anti-homeless street furniture: this is the idea of the Pics d’or, of which the 3e edition after 2019 and 2020 was organized this Monday, November 18 by the Abbé Pierre Foundation at the Théâtre de l'Atelier, in Paris.
Particularly supported by the comedians Blanche Gardin and Guillaume Meurice or the actor Edouard Montoute, this ceremony allowed the public to elect the worst anti-Homeless device.
Four pieces of street furniture were nominated, including one in Lyon.

The pinned device, located a few steps from Lumière Lyon 2 University, is located at the bottom of a student residence. Several giant empty flower pots are placed under a porch to prevent homeless people from sheltering or resting there.
