It is a decision of the operator.

Failing to obtain in time the authorizations of the prefecture and the town hall of Bordeaux, Eric Vatonne finally decided not to install his ferris wheel on the Place des Quinconces for Christmas.

It was scheduled to tour from December 18 to January 4.

He still has not received the green light from the authorities on Monday.

He had given as deadline the 11th because it takes a week of installation.

Today, it is out of the question for the company Les Grandes Roues de France based in Sadirac in the Gironde to lose a week of operation.

The operation "The wheel of the heart" is for its part canceled.

The Gironde company intended to offer 10,000 tickets to beneficiaries of Restos du cœur on the occasion of these end-of-year celebrations.

The Ferris wheel could return to Bordeaux next summer.
