Between those who experienced an unfortunate event during this period and those who will have difficulty waking up. In Anse-Bertrand, a farmer and two retirees agreed to share their vision of the New Year.
The profession of breeder has its pleasures but also its obligations, whatever the moment. At noon, Ronus gives water to his cows, he has around forty of them.
A task that the breeder carries out morning and evening every day of the year. Even the New Year. So, every new year, Ronus's Eve is never a good one.

The anxiety of leaving the table. Although when he was a child, he liked it. But today Ronus has other priorities. Like cutting down your 10 hectares of cane, which remained standing. New Year's Eve is no longer his obsession.

And the process requires a lot of organization, especially for this retiree.
With the higher cost of living, Hélier finds himself obliged to continue his activity to supplement his retirement. He would like to go to a restaurant but the New Year's Eve meal is generally too expensive for his taste.

The 79-year-old former carpenter will spend New Year's Eve with his wife at home. They will do something simple that can attract attention.
It will also be with his family that Julien will celebrate the New Year, he who experienced the death of his mother on December 30, 1979. A difficult ordeal that the Parisian of the time had to overcome on the plane on New Year's Eve .
