In Cahaignes, a small village integrated into the commune of Vexin-sur-Epte (Eure), the debate around the creation of a clay quarry has come to an end. As for the prefecture, the decision to authorize its operation was made in mid-March.

A disappointment for the members of the Vexin Nature Qualité de vie association, created in 2022 to unite opponents of the project. “We knew that the trend was not favorable to us,” regrets one of the spearheads of the protest.
