No more techno evenings and star showcases, instead football matches with live commentary. The Gare du Sud, managed by Mediterraneo, seems to have, once again, changed its face. This gourmet market located north of Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) had given local residents a hard time.

Faced with complaints about noise and a municipal decree prohibiting music, the concept was modified.

From techno to football matches

We remember that the new formula of the gourmet market had caused many disappointments for the inhabitants. After an inauguration with great fanfare but lower attendance than expected, Mediterraneo was counting on its techno evenings and private concerts to attract the public.

But faced with numerous complaints from local residents who could no longer stand the noise, and a municipal decree prohibiting music after 9 p.m., the Iera group had to review its program. And he completely changed his mind.

From now on, the new Gare du Sud organizes live broadcasts of football matches on giant screen. Latest: the meeting between OGC Nice and Ferencvaros, in the Europa League, on October 24.

“Sold out”

And she didn't do things by halves. OGC Nice TV has completely “relocated” to comment on the match live in the gourmet hall. A niche that seems to work: it was sold out, indicates Mediterraneo on its Instagram account. ” More than 1000 supporters came to create a crazy atmosphere at Gare du Sud. » She had already broadcast the events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this summer.

This is not the first time that Club TV has taken over an establishment in the Riviera capital. She even began a “tour” of Nice restaurants. For the match against Lazio in Rome, La Maïoun, on Place Garibaldi, was chosen.

Another option still offered at Gare du Sud: brunches organized every Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It also offers a selection of board games to enjoy with friends or family. But also treasure hunts dedicated to children, and a “giant werewolf for adults” on the occasion of All Saints’ Day.

Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean evenings…

Theme evenings, Harry Potter or Pirates of the Caribbean for example, have been scheduled in recent weeks. The group installed video game simulators available every day until midnight.

En clair, Iera diversifies its offer. If the gourmet market is struggling to find its identity, and especially its audience, management seems to be continuing its efforts to try new activities. So no more noisy evenings. She had carried out soundproofing work after the controversies.
