The City of Nîmes has announced the closure of all its municipal facilities and public reception areas from 4 PM this Monday until Tuesday at 12 PM. This preventive measure aims to ensure everyone's safety in the face of a potentially severe weather event, as the Prefect of Gard, Fabienne Decottignies, has activated the Departmental Operational Center (COD).
Facilities serving minors, such as nurseries, leisure centers, and social centers, will also be affected by this closure. However, emergency reception services will be organized in nurseries, and a minimum reception service (SMA) will be implemented in leisure centers.
The Jardins de la Fontaine (Fountain Gardens) will also be closed during the same period, from 4 PM this Monday to 12 PM on Tuesday.
The City of Nîmes urges the public to exercise extreme caution and encourages residents to follow the safety instructions issued by the relevant authorities. Information on the evolving situation is available on the websites gard.gouv.fr, nimes.fr, and on the radio station Ici Gard Lozère.
