The mayor against the priest...

• In Wihr-au-Val in the Haut-Rhin - As soon as the new priest was appointed on March 1, 2025 in Wihr-au-Val, the archbishopric asked Mayor Gabriel Burgard to vacate the presbytery for the new priest... Previously, this priest was in Soultzbach-les-Bains, but the building being unsanitary, a solution had to be found. The mayor refuses to house the priest in the presbytery... the premises are already occupied by a vulnerable person, and he points to a system that dates back to another era. The archbishopric of Strasbourg demands that local law be respected. (francebleu)

The flock's response to the mayor

• A platform to support the priest - It is currently circulating in the Munster valley... which represents eleven churches: Soultzbach-les-Bains, Walbach-La Forge, Wasserbourg, Wihr-au-Val, Zimmerbach, Munster, Gunsbach/Griesbach, Metzeral/Sondernach, Mittlach, Muhlbach/Breitenbach, Stosswihr/Ampfersbach.

After the restoration of "La Bonne Mère"...

• The church in the Pont de Vivaux district - The faithful of the church sold by the diocese of Marseille are asking Cardinal Aveline to come. Once the embodiment of modernity, the church, which resembles Le Corbusier, is being put up for sale by the diocese after five years of neglect... It will not be demolished, the diocese promises.

The most expensive...

• In Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, expensive and high - Giant bollards on the quays of this town in the Yvelines... In order to highlight its renovated town hall... the municipality also called on Daniel Buren... a large transparent and colorful pergola, under which visitors will pass to reach reception. Its cost: €289,455, but that was a secret... The city center redevelopment project, which is still €24 million... the sum is pretty decent compared to what it will be...
