In Marseillan, the municipal campaign has found its new headquarters: La Grille, version 2.0. No, it’s not a chair backrest, but a Facebook page where 250 die-hard commentators dissect the programs of the four candidates, between witty jokes and laughter. The concept? A mix between a local café and the National Assembly, with less suits and much more humor. The tone is free, “without beating around the bush,” but with a manual: “We talk politics, but we remain courteous, kids!” So far, no one has called anyone a pickle, that’s already a plus. They say even the candidates come by to have a look.
But why La Grille? To understand, you need to know the territory. In the real Marseillan, there is a real wrought iron gate in front of the town hall. For ages, the elders have gathered there to chat and gossip about local life. So much so that at the beginning of the 20th century, the place was already called “Le Grand Café de la Grille”. A classified “ambient” monument. The digital version continues the tradition, with a little addition: a geek grandpa who is fond of AI in debates, adding some spice to the verbal banter. His montages are gaining popularity among the regulars. This page has become the virtual aperitif of the residents of Marseillan. Proof that here, tradition knows how to click without losing its soul!
