In front of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, where Philippe Etchebest runs his restaurant, several restaurateurs made their voices heard this Friday at 11:45 a.m., after the appeal launched Wednesday by the very media chef.

An operation cut short by a downpour.

"Make noise so as not to die in silence" is the stated formula of the operation.

"We must find a solution before it cracks," said Philippe Etchebest on the square in front of the Place de la Comédie.

Very angry that restaurants are stigmatized as places that propagate the virus, he affirmed that they "were not more dangerous than school canteens or university restaurants", stressing the respect of protective measures within establishments .

The one who considers “speaking for those who are going through the same thing” recalled the existence of many small family catering businesses, considered fragile.

In Gironde, restaurants must close their doors at 10 p.m. and comply with a few rules such as the ban on standing consumption.
