"Au Boulot!" Tonight, the Haute-Savoie director Gilles Perret will be presenting his latest documentary. Home assist, temporary workers or even chambermaids... This comedy documentary highlights workers with low salaries, sometimes even below the minimum wage.
The idea for this film, released last November, begins with meeting up with Sarah Saldmann, lawyer and columnist. The Parisian lawyer attempts to work and live for a few months on the minimum wage, encoraging debate on the revaluation of the minimum wage.
This is the third film by Gilles Perret and François Ruffin. This funny documentary, which makes us question ourselves, will be broadcast this evening at 8:30 p.m. at the Cinéma le Splendid, in the presence of the director Gilles Perret.
In alpine skiing, the young athletes from the Val d'Isère Sports Club shone in the various races held over the week. In the women's category, Katrina Schniewind was the only one to reach the top 5 and came just off the podium in the girls' slalom at the U14's Bronze Cup in Saint-Foy.
On the men's side, Nolan Brusco won the silver and bronze medals in the giant slalom in Val Thorens and Les Menuires at the U16's Interregional Silver Cup. Timéo Lefranc won both U14's slaloms in Les Arcs. In the second race, it was an all-Avalin podium, with Ugo Perraud following him on the second step of the podium and Helori Treffot in third place. Helori came second during the first giant slalom of the U14's Bronze Cup in Sainte-Foy while Edouard Pierre came in 4th position. Sacha Falies finished second, followed by Timéo Lefranc in the second giant slalom.
In La Plagne, still in the Bronze Cup, Côme Ferrando took second place in the two giant slaloms in U12's. Louis Pierre came 3rd and 5th.
This winter, new quiet zones for the black grouse (the tétras-lyre in French), have been created in the local ski areas. Five new zones have been set up by the Vanoise National Park and the stakeholders of the La Plagne, Les Arcs and Les Menuires ski area. The aim is to preserve the species and provide it with a space in balance with winter sports activities.
The black grouse is an emblematic bird of our mountains and is put to the test during the winter season by the cold and lack of food. It is therefore sensitive to outside disturbances during this period. The aim of these quiet zones to protect their habitats and to raise awareness among skiers and hikers about the species, while adopting good practices. These zones are well marked using stakes or wooden posts or by four levels of elastic ropes attached to trees. In Val d'Isère, there are already four quiet areas for the black grouse; found in La Daille, Le Fornet, Bellevarde and Le Cairn. These areas have been the subject of an agreement with the various stakeholders of the resort and the ski area since the beginning of 2024, with plans to define new spaces and therefore the creation of new quiet areas.
