In Marolt, the city's first mobile bar.

Creating a place to live together and participate in communities that lack it. This was the promise of the “mobile gigi” published byChaumont bloc. A real success, Thursday, July 11, at Marolt.

More than 150 people: great for the town of Marolt, linked to the municipality of Bologna. Well, for the old side in the middle of the village square, with its multi-coloured garlands of lights, its checkered tablecloths and the red truck, we will wait for the next session. “The Citroën type Hy broke down, but the group offered us very effective help, providing us with a barn and tables for the electrical connections,” regrets Oriane, in charge of Mobile Guinguette.

So the party could start at 6pm and end at night, only 4 hours later. We feared rain and storms for a moment, but they passed.

While drinks were being served, Gaelic was accompanied by the food truck “chez Reud”, and “Remember the Roses”, which presented a popular two-hour acoustic concert.

“We were contacted about two weeks ago, and since on Thursday evenings we are usually in Bologna, we moved here,” explains Rudy “Rod” who serves up a variety of French fries and other tacos or kebabs from his truck.

Village Festival Spirit

In the square, 13 covered buildings will be provided, which will gather more than 150 people, arriving collectively, with the family: discussions between relatives, processions of children, general and festive bustle, all the ingredients were present for a moment of intimacy, but not artificial.

Pierre, who arrived with his family, does not regret his evening: warned by social networks, but also because of his election to the assembly, “he came to find the spirit of the village celebration, without any particular expectation other than to have a good moment”.

Simple, friendly, festive and close: the mobile bar will deliver on its promises and fulfill its mission.

See you, with the concept truck this time, on August 24th in Riocourt.
