To cope with the rise in the price of foodstuffs, the town hall of Limoges (Haute-Vienne) has decided to increase the prices of school canteens, reports
France Blue
tuesday.
The average price of a meal therefore increases from 3.02 to 3.29 euros at the start of the school year, ie a jump of 9%.
The most modest families will continue to pay 1 euro while the wealthiest can pay 5 euros, specifies France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
The deputy in charge of Youth, Vincent Jalby, tells our colleagues from France Bleu that the municipality has managed to keep prices stable for years but today, the situation "is no longer tenable", according to him.
A food purchasing officer explains for her part to France 3 that choices will be made on the foods offered, such as fish, for example, which is increasing sharply.
Generic and flexible menus
On the other hand, the town hall provides some tips for saving money.
For example, it will offer generic and flexible menus, to leave the possibility of modifying them according to the prices of the products.
For example, an advertised starter of raw vegetables may be made up of carrots or beets, depending on which will be cheaper for the community.
Between 8,600 and 8,700 children returned to school from this Thursday in Limoges.
Among them, 5,300 have to eat at the canteen every day.
