After five days of frenzied feria, it is time for dismantling the infrastructure but especially for cleaning streets, doorstep and other windows. The smell of incivility is unbearable to say the least. Residents and traders, all of them employ the big means

Like Véronique, some denounce impertinent behaviors like at the Mama Cucini restaurant. “They throw everything and it triggers fights,” says Thierry passing the Karcher. Everyone is impatiently awaiting the passage of city agents to put everything in order.
