Update from October 19, 2011: The analysis of the verdict of the Saint-Nazaire trial indicates that the houses under that jurisdiction have more than a month of time before being evictable.

As of this Friday morning, the trees at the Elisa Mercoeur park (near Bouffay, Nantes) are occupied by ten opponents to the métropole Nantes-Saint Nazaire project, namely the airport of Notre-Dame-des-Landes.
