A rehabilitation project for the communal hall

The municipal council had decided to rehabilitate the communal hall located by the sea, which had become unusable due to lack of adequate equipment and compliance with safety standards. Built about thirty years earlier by municipal employees, it had neither heating nor kitchen. According to Mayor Jean-Marie Oxéant, access was insufficient. Its use had decreased until it had completely stopped for two to three years.

Renovation and expansion had been part of the municipality's objectives since the 1989 elections. The council had saved 300,000 F for this operation, valued at 709,000 F. A grant from the General Council of about 155,000 F was to limit the loan needed to supplement the financing.

The project provided for an additional 65 m². A new room was to extend the building and allow the development of a kitchen and a bar. At the opposite corner, an entrance hall had to form a airlock against drafts. A covered terrace, facing the sea, was to replace the removed main staircase to create this entrance. New toilets were also planned, with easy access for people with disabilities.

The land acquired a few years earlier was to accommodate the extension, while the remaining part would be converted into a green space. The start of the work was planned in September, for a commissioning at the beginning of 1994. The room was thus to regain its place at the service of the population and Vierville associations.
