As long as he does not destroy his sheepfold, located in an area classified as a "remarkable space", François Cerbonney is condemned by the courts to v


More than 3000 euros collected in four days on an online jackpot!

The extent of the support enjoyed by François Cerbonney, a shepherd in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Manche), cannot be denied.

It should be remembered that, since April 19, a real sword of Damocles has been hanging over his little sheepfold, nestled in Genêts, facing the Merveille.

François Cerbonney is ordered by justice to immediately destroy the building, which now houses more than 300 sheep, under penalty of a fine of 150 euros per day! However, despite this vertiginous addition that was triggered, the breeder decided not to respect this decision and therefore not to dismantle the building ...

"I know deep down that it is the choice of common sense", proclaims François Cerbonney.

And he is not alone.

Indeed, the situation is unusual to say the least.

The incriminated sheepfold unites almost everyone here, farmers, residents and even elected officials.

Everyone except ... an environmental association, Manche Nature, which considers that the sheepfold should never have been built here, since the area constitutes a "remarkable space", one of the strictest appellations in terms of the protection of the environment. 'environment.

Justice therefore ruled in favor of the association.

"The story touches far beyond the bay"

"We do not know what will happen now, concedes Christiane Horel, at the head of the support committee of the sheepfold. But we are all behind François Cerbonney, for the simple reason that it is necessary. Sheep have always looked after the bay. It is a shame to want to keep it away for environmental reasons ... Hence our idea of ​​supporting it financially. Whatever happens, we know that he will have this guarantee fund in order to be able to continue working, to meet his needs. And we realize that the story touches far beyond the bay. There are people from the Pyrenees or the Ardèche who contacted us to make a donation and tell us their support. "

As for the shepherd himself, he was not, he said, very favorable to this pot: "Simply because I hope we won't need it." That everything will calm down. But it is true, however, that it is heartwarming to see such support! "
