Even if this Monday is not a time to set foot outside, the announcement of Nicolas Florian should give heart to many Bordeaux residents in these times of confinement. The mayor of Bordeaux affirmed on France Bleu Gironde that he wished to "reopen the quays of the Garonne from May 11" like the gardens and the parks. They have been closed since March 19.

But beware before even a possible reopening, Nicolas Florian warns: "if I see that there is a lack of respect for distanciations and barrier gestures, we will close". For her part, Fabienne Buccio, the Gironde's favorite, is temporarily procrastinating on the subject. Discussions are planned.

A questionnaire sent to parents before the schools reopen

The mayor of Bordeaux also clarified that the city's schools were preparing to welcome 6,000 children the first week of deconfinement but that by then a questionnaire would be sent to parents to find out in particular whether they intend to hand their children over to the school on May 11.

The other big issue is transport: "I have two fears, the first is that we will have difficulty welcoming people and trains to our trains and buses. it's hard to keep a distance on trams, ”he explains. For this he plans to split certain lines and develop a second transport network with cycling and walking.
