Today (January 24, 2020), second episode on attempts to repopulate campaigns. Certain municipalities, certain collectives of inhabitants have decided to face the rural exodus and to attract new faces… In Parlan, in Auvergne, the municipality cedes land free of charge to newcomers. In the Perche, south of Paris, a small team of locals is struggling to market their village and fill empty houses.
And in the Drôme, in Crest, a network of collectives and associations is trying to revitalize the city center by reopening shops.
