Dominique Clavé, the mayor of Bretagne-de-Marsan, near Mont-de-Marsan (Landes) has just issued a decree… authorizing “Santa's sleigh to fly over the town between December 24, 8 p.m. and December 25 December 5 a.m. »
Reindeer allowed to graze in certain places
And, as the reindeer “will need a lot of energy to fly and pull the sleigh”, children are invited “to leave carrots, apples or a little hay”. “A little kind word or a drawing” as well, because “the reindeer love to be thought of too. »
Concretely, “a landing space is reserved on all the roofs of the houses” but “Santa Claus and his reindeer are asked not to make too much noise so as not to wake up the sleeping children. » Father Christmas is also given permission “to park and graze his reindeer on the grassy areas of the municipal park, on the Jean-Michel Larribeau field of honor as well as on the training ground”.
