Betonus refuses to listen to the residents of Port-Grimaud
In the wonderful private city prized by all, the summer season was in full swing with visitors, a major asset for this equally pretty commune.
The outstanding organization due to the skills and talent of the experienced teams does not leave the co-owners indifferent, who must be cared for in their haven of peace.
The Lakeside City is organized like a commune without, however, benefiting from public funding, despite contributing significantly to the tourism development of the gulf. The small advisory team does not fail to ensure that everything remains in keeping with this architecture, which is nevertheless open to more and more tourists.
NEW PROJECTS Winter is now setting in, and while it was snowing heavily at home, Garantix and Armonix decided to set off for a new visit to the South. Now that the consultation has ended, they must gather everything to honestly recount what they observed. Meanwhile, our indomitable Port-Grimaudois continue to work on the proper care and defense of the pretty city.
New projects are blooming, and by no means minor ones.
The two friends, having arrived in the early morning, passed through the postern gate via the quai des Fossés, heavily laden. The head of security who welcomed them wondered: "Are they going to settle here? Do we know about this?" The neighborhood representatives are in council, we will have to disturb them.
Garantix. Look, Armonix, the weather is still beautiful here at this time of year. Armonix. Yes, it's magnificent: the light is incredible, the reflections in the water add an amazing effect, especially with the large Roman galleys gone.
Garantix. That's not all. How are we going to go about recounting all of this? We need carts to carry all these parchments.
Armonix (muttering under his breath). My friend has ideas in the back of his mind. Garantix. What are you saying, Armonix? Armonix. That we have our work cut out for us! Garantix. What can you do!
Despite his empty promises, Betonus refuses to listen to the residents of Port-Grimaud, continuing on his trajectory. Yet, above all, the ecosystem and the incredible richness of the seabed must be preserved, as well as the remarkable and unique Gallic heritage. And of course, the sweet life of the Port-Grimaudois at home.
They must be listened to!
Seated in the sun on the market square, Garantix called upon his friend as a witness, taking the opportunity to recall the current challenges facing the city. Garantix. Armonix, I am worried; all the consultation requests proposed at public meetings and in the contributions have not been heard.
But above all, Betonus's projects are not based on any study, and they go against the opinions expressed by the majority of Port-Grimaudois. The consultation must continue to prevent a wide gap from widening between Betonus and the Port-Grimaudois.
I'm going to have to take a little potion. I'll distribute some as well. It will make my mind clearer.
No! Not you! Armonix faced the obvious fact that it would take patience and a colossal amount of work, and that he would have to look closely at each subject, as the stakes were so high.
But already committed to this beautiful adventure, they would resist these stubborn Romans, for lack of going wild boar hunting.
Armonix. Garantix, if I understand correctly, our role is to honestly describe the position of the Romans and that of the residents, and to suggest ways to narrow the gaps. Garantix. You're following me. We must note that the residents' scenarios have not been taken up and that the studies are missing.
Armonix. We have no time to lose. But before we submit our report, what do you think the residents will do now that this consultation is over? Let's take advantage of being here to find out.
What do you think? Garantix. I can see light in the council chamber from here, let's go and listen to the wise elders! Armonix. Did you hear that?
A councilor is saying that Jurix is going to rule on the management of the lake, the freedom of movement, and the right to park in front of their cottages. Garantix. And all the councilors are proposing that the Lakeside City should gain its independence from Betonus, who is planning to levy a new tax to build the "Port des Dieux"!
It seems to me that the intimidation by his legionaries must stop.
Armonix. That is reassuring, they have not lost morale and remain combative. Garantix. Let's get back to our report, Armonix, there are so many subjects.
The one I really want to pamper is the project to create a new commune. Just because you're small doesn't mean you're not powerful. Right? As proof, the Romans are not at the top of the list to come and visit us in our home.
Armonix, amused. Still, I'd like them to come more often. We have a lot of fun. I hope we will still have a little time to go up to the village to cross paths with some wild boars.
To be strong, you have to eat well, Garantix. When is the villagers' banquet? Garantix, smiling. In August, we have time to think about it! In the village, we must above all remind them of what the consultation highlighted.
A major subject of discord with the Port-Grimaudois. Respect for their real mooring right in front of their cottage. A doubt about the true purpose of the project of the commune of Grimaud and about its intentions regarding the future of Port-Grimaud.
Reservations about the effectiveness of the project in solving silting problems and the absence of any proposal for a serious alternative, and doubts about the need to expand the harbor master's office.
Admire this beautiful Christmas tree, Armonix, blue, green, and silver, which technology has set up in the square. Come, let's treat ourselves to crêpes and waffles at the food truck that has come for the holidays since December 15th for the first time here. It smells good and they look super delicious.
Armonix. Good idea. To be continued...
