A spectacle that could not be more traveling.
The polemicist Dieudonné M'Bala M'Bala regularly meets his fans on sites kept secret until the last minute or almost.
Sunday evening, in the Nantes conurbation, rare fans showed perseverance and a nomadic spirit.
The controversial 56-year-old comedian, convicted several times of anti-Semitic remarks or inciting racial hatred, tried to install his Dieudobus, a vehicle converted into a small performance hall, in a public space in Sainte-Luce-sur- Loire, according to Ouest-France.
But the deputy mayor and the gendarmes immediately made him feel that he was not welcome.

Neither one nor two, the controversial comedian and his team broke camp.
Direction Carquefou, about 7 km away.
But little more success with the municipality.
Véronique Dubettier-Grenier, the mayor, asked him to leave.
Between twenty and thirty people had already moved to attend the show.
“When I arrived, they were starting to get into the truck,” she explains to the regional newspaper.
"He was in the public space, and for this event, as for any other, you need prior authorization which of course he did not have," she continues.
The presence of gendarmes led the team to leave the scene.
It was finally on the Launay motorway rest area, between Nantes and Ancenis, that the traveling theater stopped, watched by the gendarmes of the Departmental Road Safety Squadron (EDSR).
Almost without an audience, the show was fast.
Without a hitch, according to the police.
