The CCAS in the archives of communal life

Forty-six seniors participated in an outing in the Manche department organized on a Wednesday by the CCAS. They spent three hours aboard the Barbey-d'Aurevilly II to discover the life and history of the marshes, their fauna, flora and landscapes.

After a lunch in Moitiers-en-Bauptois, the day continued at the Museum In Search of Lost Time, then with a stop at the Sainte-Mère-Église biscuit factory. The participants enjoyed this day of discovery, which they found too short.

Surrounded by the municipal council and members of the CCAS, Antoine de Bellaigue presented his wishes and took stock of the past year. He came back to the closure of the grocery store, regretted by many residents. A building permit had been filed, and the mayor hoped to open a new grocery store during the second half of May.

He also mentioned the rehabilitation of the old school into an intermunicipal leisure center and a group cottage, a project intended to enhance the municipality while benefiting the territory. The development of the rue de la Mer and the parking lots was, according to him, on the right track and should improve the quality of life.

In a box, Antoine de Bellaigue announced his candidacy for the next municipal elections, as well as that of seven colleagues. Two councilors had chosen not to run again for personal reasons. The mayor said he understood and regretted their decision and thanked them for the work done during the mandate.
