“All goodwill is welcome. Here is the message from the mayor of Bordeaux on this first day of confinement in France. She calls for volunteers for this very special period. The internet platform jeparticipe.bordeaux.fr already lists the service offers from 250 Bordeaux residents who have been noticed in recent hours (Covid 19 self-help section).

Childcare, shopping for residents unable to move, links with isolated people ... small and large services, for an hour or a day, everyone has their own proposal. To volunteer, just register in a few clicks.

Public services are adapting

In addition, the district town halls provide certificates of derogatory travel (subject to availability). The public service is provided but adapted:

  • Tram and bus traffic is ensured. A traffic plan review is underway.
  • Waste is collected almost normally.
  • Municipal civil status services now only issue essential documents, births and deaths.
  • The accreditation of childminders goes from three to six children.
