It is an opening which, despite the manager’s good will, does not go unnoticed.
In the village of Villers-Perwin, a libertine club called En-Vie opened last Thursday… In the greatest secrecy. The music and the many cars parked – in a village of only 1,400 inhabitants – around the establishment caught the ears of the local residents.
The mayor was quickly informed by the inhabitants who complained about the event. “I received many messages from residents who all complained, above all, of a strong presence of cars parked everywhere, anyhow, in the middle of a residential area”says Mathieu Perin to our colleagues from the Meuse. “I learned in the wake, that these cars were there for this libertine club, a club which I did not know existed, and whose leaders absolutely did not come into contact with the authorities.”
“I have nothing against these kinds of clubs”
The mayor therefore certifies that he was not made aware of the opening of this establishment, since it is a private club that does not require validation from the municipality. And Mathieu Perin assures him: it is not the nature of this openness that bothers him but the way of proceeding. “Let’s agree, I’m not prudish, I have nothing against this kind of clubs, where the customers are adults, adults, vaccinated and consenting. What bothers me, above all, what makes me mad, c is to be faced with a fait accompli, with all sorts of unacceptable nuisances if we want to keep the living environment of Villers-Perwin.”
Mathieu Perin:
The mayor not being empowered to close the En-Vie club nevertheless affirmed that he would bring in the parking agents in order to crack down. “This weekend, we were talking about 80 people present at this place, which means about forty vehicles parked in the street… And we saw French and Luxembourg license plates, it came from everywhere! This leads to a feeling of insecurity among residents and as mayor I cannot let this pass”he delivers to Sudinfo.
“Be serious…”
This reaction does not surprise the manager of En-Vie. Eric Delfosse, tenant of the big one in which the libertine club has put down his suitcases admits it: “We expected it, it’s true”he confided to the Meuse. “But there are a lot of exaggerations and, above all, we are good in respecting the laws: everything happens inside, people do not walk naked in the street, we are not a disco that makes people go from music all the way…”
The proximity of the establishment to a school would also worry local residents: this criticism gently makes the manager smile. “Let’s be serious, we open on Thursday around 6 p.m. At that time, classes are over. We are not a window bar like you see along the N5.” A controversy that has not finished talking about it and which amuses internet users a lot…
