Sitting or lying in the street, when it clearly disturbs peace and public order, is no longer prohibited in Angoulême (Charente).

In an order issued on Monday, the judge of interim relief has partially suspended the decree "anti-marginal" signed by the mayor of Angoulême, Xavier Bonnefont (Horizons), on July 11.
