In all French cities, self-service bicycle subscriptions, deployed by JC Decaux, will be free for one year. But only for nursing staff. This was announced by the group on Monday in a press release, specifying that it observed an increase in the rental of its bicycles near hospitals, in particular that of Edouard Herriot in Lyon and those of Timone and Saint-Joseph in Marseilles. A gesture of "solidarity" specifies the group.
The operation actually concerns the cities of Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Toulouse, Nancy, Mulhouse, Amiens, Créteil, Besançon, Rouen, Cergy-Pontoise.

To benefit from this free subscription, caregivers must send proof of their professional activity to the email address: contact.cyclocity@jcdecaux.com, specifying the city concerned.
The person will receive in return a single-use code, valid for 12 months, which can be used both by a first-time subscriber and to renew a current subscription. For non-subscribed caregivers: upon receipt of their code, they will be able to take out an annual subscription online on the system of their choice (website of the VLS service concerned or on the mobile applications "official bicloo" or "official Velo'v" for Nantes and Lyon) and enter this code at the time of payment.
For caregivers who already have a subscription, the code will allow them to renew their subscription for free for a period of one year.
