Mayor Saeed and participants
Mayor Majali Jenny is very happy with this “mobile gigette”. “This event was proposed by the Shomo gathering of all the small towns in the area. Initially, we were supposed to host this event in 2025. We saw that no buyer had been found yet. We decided to embark on the adventure early. We do not regret this decision. The only unknown is time. And the townspeople responded. Friendliness and sunshine await you. We are not against hosting the “mobile gigette” next year. »
What did the participants think? “It’s a good initiative that brings people together in a relaxed and friendly context. It brings excitement to small towns. “In these kinds of meetings, we meet and talk to people we don’t know or to neighbors we normally pass by,” explains Claude. Residents Volan, Vincent and Coraline came to Guinguette’s mobile with two friends. “It’s a very friendly moment. The musical group isn’t bad. We didn’t think there would be so many people. This is the kind of event Volan misses.”

Which leads to financial difficulties. We have invested 10,000 euros. Our association is in danger of extinction without support.”
