The inauguration of the renovated communal hall

The Vierville town hall was inaugurated on a Saturday afternoon by the mayor, Jean-Marie Oxéant, in the presence of the municipal council. Captain Le Berre, commander of the Bayeux gendarmerie company, as well as representatives of the Trévières gendarmerie attended the ceremony. Many inhabitants had come to discover this achievement.

The former mayor, Mr. Hardelay, cut the tricolor ribbon. This gesture recalled his role in the creation of the party hall, thirty years earlier.

During the visit, the mayor presented the new equipment: a large kitchen with dishwasher and a room that can accommodate about a hundred people, open to the sea through large bays. He highlighted the quality of the materials, finishes and ease of maintenance. A fence was still to be installed around the field the following spring to allow children to play outside safely.

Ten companies participated in the work. The mayor was pleased that they are craft companies in the canton of Trévières. Knowing the difficulties of local companies in obtaining public contracts, he explained this choice to work with them.

The General Council awarded a subsidy representing 20% of the amount of the work. The municipality self-financed 30% and contracted a loan over fifteen years for the remaining 50%.

The guests then shared a wine of honor and discovered Caroline Fontaine's photographs. This professional photographer had covered the reception of American veterans on June 5. His images reproduced the festive atmosphere, the reunion and the emotion of this day.
