The New Year’s fire is prepared carefully. It is officially forbidden, but ultimately tolerated, this fire of pallets, old furniture, scraps of wood, has been preparing for days.
Tons of old wood are brought in by trailers or small truckloads in preparation for the big evening… The night of 31, rue Maurice Thorez, all the residents present will once again be outside or at their window. A question that everyone is asking: will the blaze be higher than in previous years?
Answer… in a few hours. It seems that the firefighters are ready for any eventuality… But this has been going on for years.
