Montpellier is hosting the Octobre Rose campaign, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about breast cancer, from now until October 31. The campaign includes a variety of events such as film screenings, mobile health units known as Mammobiles, neighborhood activities, information sessions, sports events, and special illuminations. At the beginning of October, pink umbrellas have returned to the rue de la Loge in Montpellier and will remain on display throughout the campaign, serving as a visual reminder of the cause. The 33rd edition of Octobre Rose will extend beyond the city center, with planned activities in several neighborhoods. The Mammobile, a mobile unit offering breast cancer screening, will be stationed on October 1 at the esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle and on October 16 at Lemasson. In the Hérault department, breast cancer screening is free for women aged 50 to 74 years, making it more accessible to the population. A health village will be set up at La Croix d'Argent on October 7, and another event will take place on October 16 at the parc Tastavin in Lemasson. The city's mobile health prevention unit, "Ma.P," will be involved in the "100 % of women accompanied to organized cancer screening" project, aiming to ensure more women receive the necessary screenings. The campaign also includes opportunities for the public to meet healthcare professionals and receive information. For example, an information day will be held at the Polygone on October 7, and two events will be hosted by the CHU de Montpellier on October 8 and 13. In La Mosson, the Maison pour tous Léo Lagrange will organize a dance event called "Alors, on danse!" on October 18, aiming to engage communities that may be less familiar with cancer prevention. Montpellier’s sports clubs are also participating in Octobre Rose with "pink" themed matches. On October 10, the Olympic pool Angelotti will host a special sports-health day to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Throughout the city, stores in the center and Maisons pour tous will display pink umbrellas, reinforcing the campaign's message. As night falls, several landmarks, including the Arc de triomphe, the fountain of the Three Graces, and the fountains on the esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, will be illuminated in pink. The city hopes these efforts will remind the public of the importance of organized screening, which can lead to earlier detection of breast cancer and better outcomes.
