And a pole hit by a car at the Rives du Cher.
La StorieTouraine is a daily summary of current events in Tours. Here is the edition for this Sunday…
————-
A post hit…
A car hit a street light pole this late Saturday afternoon at Bd Winston Churchill in Tours. Result: it was necessary to order its withdrawal so that it does not collapse and therefore cut off circulation.
Fire in Sud-Touraine…
This Saturday afternoon, an agricultural shed filled with straw caught fire in the town of Verneuil-sur-Indre. 200m² have been destroyed. One person was slightly injured while trying to put out the flames. 23 firefighters were called to intervene.
Another striking fire occurred in the night from Friday to Saturday: it was around 1:30 am in an apartment on Rue Edouard Branly in Joué-lès-Tours. The two occupants of the accommodation were transported to the hospital after inhaling smoke. 23 firefighters were mobilized.
Last day of collection…
This Sunday morning, some stores in the department are still hosting the Food Bank to collect non-perishable food which will be donated to the poorest (canned food, pasta, coffee, etc.). Think about it if you go shopping.
Literary awards…
Failing to do so during Vegan Place (event around vegetarian or vegan food and animal welfare) canceled due to the Covid, the Maya Prize organizers announced the winners of their second edition this weekend. The Maya Prize rewards animalist works. Black titan by Florence Aubry (Edition du Rouergue) wins in the novel category, Insolent veggie (tome 4) by Rosa B (Editions La Plage) in the comics category and Fritz Isy Ochoa and The ugly animal revolt by Coline Pierré (Editions du Rouergue) in the youth category.
New in Chédigny…
An associative wine and refreshment bar called Chez Jeanne has just opened in one of the most beautiful villages in Touraine dedicated to roses. It will be open every weekend in the summer with traditional Touraine grape varieties, fruit juices or plates of local products on its menu. 6 associations of the municipality are involved. All this on the Place de la Mairie from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
What have we done to the good Lord returns to Chinon…
One of the biggest comic successes of French cinema will be entitled to a 3e episode. This week, director Philippe de Chauveron announced a new shoot around the adventures of the Verneuil family, baptized What have we all done to God. And as the Verneuil are from Chinon, the filming will take place again in Touraine. It will be in spring 2021 for a release on October 13 of the same year.
