While Beaujolais wine regions celebrate their new vintages, Vendargues highlights its own horse-drawn service. In a gesture of goodwill, local officials received wine bottles, and Max Rascalou, along with service head Jean-Christophe Boutin, explained how their service operates. A delegation from Belleville-en-Beaujolais, a town of 14,000 inhabitants, participated in a school tour aboard horse-drawn carriages early in the morning. Following a visit to the stables and livestock, discussions continued with Mayor Frédéric Pronchéry.
There is strong hope for the christening of the future horse-drawn service, or that of a new commune that relies daily on horses.
