Direction the Vendée where a group of supporters set fires in small campaign stadiums. They choose a village at random, top secret until the big day.

They support unknown local Vendée football clubs, arriving by surprise to 100 supporters. Before setting a stadium ablaze, it all starts with a harpoon shot: it’s chance that decides the club. That Sunday, go to Saint-Christophe-du-Ligneron (Vendée), a village of 2,000 inhabitants. The fourth division football team is not used to receiving such well-equipped supporters. The supporters know neither the club nor the players, but will give everything. They thus travel throughout the Vendée, to energize their campaign.

Together, we go further

On the 13 Heures set, journalist Valérie Heurtel presents other solidarity initiatives. Owners or tenants with limited means and work to do can call on the Compagnons builders, who send teams to the beneficiaries’ homes free of charge. In the streets too, solidarity is also being organized. In Auxerre (Yvonne), families prepare hot meals for the homeless. They responded to the call of Abdelaziz, a stretcher bearer with a big heart, who created the association “Auxerrevice for the most deprived”.
