In Bordeaux, the Ecologists party has inaugurated their newly renovated local. The local, located on Rue du Chai-des-Farines, was purchased in 1999 and was in a state of disrepair. The renovation work, which lasted for six months, was entrusted to architect Audrey Boey. The local is now brighter, more wooded, more practical, and more modern. Even the electrical and plumbing systems have been replaced. The inauguration of the new local took place during the year of the European elections and the fiftieth anniversary of the first green candidacy in the presidential election. Bordeaux's Green mayor, Pierre Hurmic, also recalled memories of disputes and good times in the party's old local. The renovated local is considered the most beautiful Ecologists' office in France. Some old party motions were also found in the personal archives of certain members. [f1eabbb3]
