The 20 Hours returns, Saturday, October 1, to the news in France. On the menu, a mobilization in Nantes against insecurity, a successful corporate sale and the opening of the scallop season.

Ras-le-bol: this is the message that Nantes residents wanted to convey in the street, Saturday, October 1, a few days after the rape of a 40-year-old woman by two individuals. For several months, residents have been denouncing the insecurity in their city. The town hall is calling for 80 additional police officers to restore security. In Reims (Marne), like everywhere in France, we also mobilized for “Pink October”. The month is dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. In 2022, the focus is on sports.

Near Dijon (Côte-d’Or), the annual sale of a famous household appliance brand has become unmissable. In times of crisis and inflation, many French people came to take advantage of bargain prices. “We took a kit with different pans, we saved at least 40%, I would say”, says a buyer. 8,000 visitors are expected until Sunday. Finally, the first scallops of the season arrived at dawn in the port of Granville (Manche), fewer than expected due to bad weather. The ton caught during the night was snatched in just 45 minutes.
