The return of the Royal de Luxe

The magic of
Royal de Luxe
will once again take over Nantes, and Saint-Herblain, with a new big popular show after the summer

A lane reserved for carpooling
On the theme of mobility, Johanna Rolland announced the opening of a lane reserved for carpooling, boulevard de la Prairie Mauve, at the end of the year.
From autumn, 49 new tramway trains will also be delivered and will be able to accommodate 50 more passengers.
They will replace the historic TFS trains from 1985.
A “house of sustainable entrepreneurship”
To support companies in their ecological transition, a “
sustainable entrepreneurship house
” will be set up in Nantes.
In partnership with the CCI, it will offer companies “
concrete services to accelerate their transformation
”.
Organic and local in school catering
The PS mayor does not want organic to be a vector of inequality:
“It is out of the question that on the one hand there is first-class food for people who can afford to eat organic and on the other 2nd class food.”
With this in mind, she indicated that “
50% organic and local
” was currently served in school canteens, specifying that this would
“continue”
.
