A rich and festive program awaited the public throughout this day, focused on inclusion, culture, and living together, and open to all residents of the commune. The morning was punctuated by an event for professionals, partners, and institutional representatives. Thus, a round table was held on the theme of "the place of culture in the inclusion of prevented audiences", with the participation of Françoise Nyssen, former Minister of Culture. This round table was followed by the screening of a film on this theme. Then, a republican buffet, prepared by the ESAT "Les Deux Frères", brought the participants together before a tour of the premises. After the lunch break, guests attended an inclusive dance performance by the 6ème sens company and young people from the IME. After this highly appreciated cultural interlude, the time came for official speeches, including that of Yves Palmieri, the mayor. In the late afternoon, festive activities were offered, including a show by primary school children and an art exhibition centered around the film "Le Ballon rouge". Next came the inauguration of the sculpture "Le Grand Ballon" by the artist Marie-Noëlle Ronayette. The day concluded with the discovery of the solidarity tearoom, celebrating, in a warm atmosphere, the opening of this welcoming and support center dedicated to children and adolescents with disabilities.
