IN PICTURES – In Bordeaux the music festival is back but shortened due to storms

The Bordelais found their music festival this Tuesday evening. Concerts were organized all over the city, after two consecutive editions canceled due to the coronavirus epidemic. But this time, thunderstorms disrupted the party. The Prefecture of Gironde took the decision in the afternoon to advance a certain number of concerts so that they end at 10 p.m. instead of 1 a.m., due to orange vigilance in the wind and at hail placed on the department for the second day in a row.

To Bordeaux, thousands of people nevertheless celebrated for several hours.
