David versus Goliath - When Botch rhymes too much with Bosch: the small Occitan manufacturer of cargo bikes in the sights of the German giant... (france3) "Botch" means "crazy" in Occitan... In 2024, the trio manufactured 48 bicycles... The German equipment manufacturer Bosch asks "Botch" to change its name... There could be confusion for consumers, because there is only one letter different between the two brands. The frames of the "Botch cargo" bikes are made 50% from a 50% recycled bike frame and a front cargo part, handmade in Toulouse. Opportunistic communication: Botch Cargo Bikes Less opportunistic communication: Bosch and Bosch the company's website A bit like a certain Léon from Brussels who had ordered the name of the starred restaurant in Dordogne "Le Petit Léon", located in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, to be changed. Finally the Brussels native gave up and left with his molds under his arm, advertising and counter-advertising in the 21st century. And another brand in danger: Boche, again only one letter different between the two. In illustration, the reuse of helmets " boches "  |

The 34,795th place... Valjouffrey in Isère, its 167 Sapparys, its average altitude of 2,244 meters, its east-central French Emmental and its nature.

It wouldn't be good to live outside of metropolitan France...? Valjouffrey before and after The number one: the "paradise" Épron in Calvados, its 1883 Épronnais, its highest point of 60 meters, a village "in the countryside", its few sheep installed on a former vacant lot to graze the grass near the school and its 25,000 vehicles that cross it every day.

A penny is a penny: A virtually free TCL subscription: this is the ridiculous price paid by elected officials in Lyon... An advantage that is particularly enjoyed by Grégory Doucet (Mayor of Lyon) and Bruno Bernard (President of the Lyon metropolitan area and the metropolitan council)... "We should also point out that Grégory Doucet said that there was no reason not to pay for transport when you can afford it" (Nathalie Perrin-Gilbert, opposition elected official in Greater Lyon [who benefits from the €6.90 fare]... Openly against free transport, the president of the opposition group "La Métro Positive" and also mayor of Saint-Priest, Gilles Gascon (LR), does not does not benefit from this reduced subscription, for example.
