More comfortable fatigues, innovative machines: the Army presents its new products at the Larzac camp
#AVEYRON This Wednesday, December 4, the Larzac camp hosted a demonstration of the latest technologies that will be deployed in 2025 in the various regiments of the army.
The innovations developed by the Stat (Technical Section of the Army) were presented to generals from all over France and to the Chief of Staff of the Army, Pierre Schill.
On this occasion, the new fatigues were unveiled. They hadn't changed since the 1980s. “Their protective performance is better, assures the Army, as ergonomics and improved comfort make it possible to increase the duration of wearing.”
Today's figure: 116
#MONTPELLIER This is, in millions, the number of listens on streaming platforms for the title “Imagine” by Carbonne. Unknown to the general public a few months ago, the rapper Carbonne exploded in 2024, notably thanks to this title.
It ranks second in the ranking of the most listened to titles in France over the whole year. In Montpellier, “Imagine” is the most listened to title in 2024. A nice local anchoring.
Fatal filming for pink flamingos
#GARD On June 7, 2018, a film crew flew in a microlight at very low altitude over a colony of pink flamingos in the Aigues-Mortes area during a reconnaissance.

The authorities had opposed this overflight for fear of disturbing the reproduction of this species considered protected and “near threatened” indicated at the time the association France nature environnement. Four environmental associations (Le FNE-Occitanie, the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO), La Tour du Valat, and the association Stéphane Lamart) have filed a civil suit in this case.
The trial is scheduled for Thursday, December 12 before the criminal court of Nîmes. To be continued.
Volunteers suspended
#MONTPELLIER Suspensions with immediate effect have been notified to eight volunteers from the solidarity market, the Saxo, by the Hérault federation of Secours populaire.
A measure that was badly received by the volunteers who contested the new opening hours of the site but assumed by the management. The secretary general of the Hérault federation believes that the members targeted would have neglected the reception of the beneficiaries of the distribution, of the order of 130 people per opening day, which would have favored a climate of tension.
Abandoned villas
#POUSSAN Villas located on the route of the future high-speed line have become rubbish dumps. Owned by SNCF Réseaux, this built heritage, now in ruins, was bought by the railway operator as part of the contested New Montpellier-Perpignan Line (LMNP) project.
It is on this sector that the future viaduct (1.4 km long and 30 meters high) planned on the route of this high-speed line should be built, which in the best case scenario could be built by 2030.
The mayor of Poussan, Florence Sanchez, is all the more concerned by the situation as these houses, which have been in disrepair for several years, are a source of public safety problems.
