Shameless!
Did you say shameless? - "It's less of a public service," the residents of an Alsatian village are bitter after their mailbox disappeared. "Without warning, from one day to the next... the postman misses it, too." All that remains is the traces of the removed mailbox. The solution is "to go to the neighboring village of Goldbach, three kilometers away, or go even further, to Willer-sur-Thur." And since a kilometer on foot is tiring, they have to take the car. (francebleu).
Did you say sadness? - "If you like the item of clothing, you can take a photo and post it directly to social media." Everything has been designed to appeal to young customers and provide them with a genuine service.
Did you say swindle? - Conversion of yellow boxes, a fitting room at the post office, "it's like being in a real store" - "60 to 90% of the packages that go through the post office are online purchases" - "Lighting specially designed for taking photos to post on social media."
And in Goldbach-Altenbach? - Where is the post office? - And the elderly... they walk, they walk...

And to relax after this news, which mainly allows the Post Office to detach itself from its primary vocation of storytelling...
The filming of "Madame Sans-Gêne" in the park of Compiègne, by an American company but with a French director, Mr. Léonce Perret. The film will be released in a few days in the United States. In France, it will have to wait until the Christmas period.

No notice!
Did you say no notice? - The Rivière-Salée Social Security agency is permanently closed. "This closure is due to the fact that the building (owned by the town hall) in which we were located was sold today. We have a buyer as of April 1st who will take over the premises..." Users were informed by a simple text message or by posters posted on the entrance doors. (RCI Martinique)

Consequence: a kilometer on foot is tiring...
La Bignole's little game: find the alternative routes to Trinité, Schœlcher, and Acajou in 10 seconds and calculate the travel times by public transport when they walk.

The Man in a Hurry or...
No Time to Lose - Private Plane: These Côtes-d'Armor Elected Officials Made a Round Trip to Paris... for Nothing. The President of the Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomeration, Ronan Kerdraon, made a special round trip by plane to Paris... to promote a commercial expansion project led by the owner of the Leclerc store in Ploufragan, in Carpont... Another elected official was on the trip: Rémy Moulin, Mayor of Ploufragan and Vice-President of the Agglomeration. "...For scheduling and time constraints, I couldn't leave and return by train...".

And this wasn't the first attempt, never two, without...
And the car? Bottom line... not a zero in carbon footprint, but a twenty in efficiency.
Ronan Kerdraon - Ploufragan in Côtes-d'Armor, which, although crossed by the Saint-Brieuc to Pontivy line, closed to all traffic since 2017, does not have a train station.

Without a calculator

The coffers are full, we need tourists.

But beware of financial vertigo - Côtes-d’Armor: a rent of €35,000, " This is absurd! »

The reason: the future Himalayan footbridge, a footbridge 1.20 m wide, 275 m long - The leased object: a wood in Caurel - The duration: 20 years - The payers: the taxpayers

"But between the end of September and mid-March, the wood of Caurel will be closed, as every year, for the hunting season. You will be able to access the footbridge, but you will have to turn around once you reach the Caurel side... ", "We will not be able to accommodate people with reduced mobility...", explains Jean-Louis Martigné, mayor of the town.

The fun math of La Bignole: 35,000 × 20 ÷ 5.5 =

Xavier Hamon (President of Loudéac Communauté Bretagne Centre)... "The discussions were well conducted."

And the bonus from La Bignole: "We will not be able to accommodate people with reduced mobility...". It seems they want to have the longest footbridge in France, after the 268 meters of the Lignon Gorges, in Haute-Loire. But nothing to do with the 721 meters of Sky Bridge 721 in Dolni Morava in the Czech Republic
