Residents can enter a free draw to win tickets to a cultural festival by visiting local shops until November 4. The event, 'Cirque, c'est chic!', expands across multiple departments in France.
Free participation until November 4
Until Wednesday, November 4 at noon, the "Commerçants Chics" operation allows residents to participate for free, without any obligation to make a purchase. How to enter the draw
The principle is simple: it is enough to go to one of the participating stores and leave your name, first name, email address, and phone number. Each visit to the counter of a grocery store, a cheese shop, or a café in the neighborhood gives an additional chance to win. Prizes for the events
Six places are up for grabs, divided into three lots of two places for the events on Saturday, November 7 at La Verrerie d'Alès: "Belle à mourir" from 8 years old at 17:00, "Préviens Les Autres" from 10 years old at 18:30, and "DJ Sirius" from 10 years old at 21:00. Winners will be notified
At the end of the game's closure, on Wednesday, November 4 at noon, a draw will determine the winners, who will be contacted directly by La Verrerie d'Alès. A decentralized circus festival
