A summer at the heart of Hyères with the UDH
This summer, the Union des Hyérois (UDH) crossed the city like flipping through a book of living images: lively neighborhoods, sun-drenched squares...
On every page, the same generous faces: those of the volunteers. They are the ones who, without counting their hours, preserve the living heritage, maintain social ties, and make the city vibrant. 'Behind every shared dish and every open-air cafe, there are committed women and men. This commitment is not only festive: it is deeply civic. It asserts that the city does not belong to indifference, but to those who roll up their sleeves to bring it to life,' says François Cornileau.
LIVING SOUL OF HYÈRES
At Notre-Dame de Consolation, the CIL de Costebelle served a pistou filled with memories. In Place Rabaton, Amuse-toi vieux Hyères set up a vibrant aïoli under a cheerful sun. At the station, the Sainte-Madeleine bouillabaisse transformed the neighborhood into a Mediterranean port. At Salins, Giens, l’Ayguade, La Bayorre, at the port, at La Capte... everywhere, the beauty of the sites blended with the colors of traditions. Under the pines, along the golden salt marshes or facing the sea, every encounter held the same promise: to keep the soul of Hyères alive. Present at the Libération des Borrels ceremony, Max Bauer, his running mate, added: 'The Union des Hyérois will relaunch the major popular festivals that are so missed: the national holiday, the cut flower festival, and other unifying celebrations. We will defend our traditions not as frozen folklore, but as a living force, a driver of attractiveness, a tool for cohesion. Hyères is fortunate to have residents who give without counting. They are our greatest wealth. Their commitment is our heritage and our responsibility. With them, we will build an open city, proud of its roots, strong in its solidarity, and ambitious for its future.'
