The possibility of consuming alcoholic beverages in public spaces in Nantes has been restricted since January 13.
A municipal decree, which supplements an already existing text, has been taken in this direction.
It expands the alcohol-free perimeter in the city.
Anyone who fails to do so may be fined and fined up to 150 euros in the event of a repeat offence.
New anti-alcohol perimeter in Nantes as defined by the municipal decree of January 13, 2023. To this are added specific zones in certain districts such as those of Bellevue, Dervallières or Vieux-Doulon.

“Uses change over time. The new perimeter responds to observations made by local residents and security officers
, ”explains to
Le Figaro
, Denis Tallédec, municipal councilor responsible for crime prevention and victim assistance.
According to him, places with
“recurring phenomena of overconsumption of alcohol and psychotropic drugs”,
outside the pre-existing perimeter, have been identified.
Behaviors that generate
"nuisance"
and
"inconvenience"
that the city of Nantes says it wants to reduce.

He cites as an example the boulevard Lelasseur, which has just been integrated into the new perimeter, on which
“a new population”
had taken the habit of meeting.
Among the other sectors added are areas located on the island of Nantes or in the Hauts-Pavés-Saint-Félix and Doulon-Bottière districts.
An amplified “repressive component”
If the city of Nantes amplifies its
"repressive component"
, the elected official wishes to recall that it is part of an
"arsenal of intervention"
in the face of a
"public health problem"
which also includes
"social support"
at notably through the action of street educators.
In certain districts of Nantes,
“fragile populations”
having the habit of settling near shopping centers are thus known to the services.

If the new municipal decree came into force recently, the municipality does not plan
“operation punch”
in the days to come.
On the other hand,
“no tolerance
” either.
The agents, whether those of the municipal or national police, will therefore be able to verbalize in the event of breaches of the rules.
These are not frozen in time.
Faced with a
“city that moves and evolves”
, the municipality remains attentive according to Denis Tallédec:
“It is possible that the text will evolve within a year with the addition of new areas”
.
