The capital of Burgundian Bresse, Louhans is a town of markets and fairs, at the heart of a rural area where every village has its own fête, dance and festival committee. Needs here are those of community events, food-industry businesses and town-centre shops. Thirty-five minutes from Chalon, this is an area we cover regularly.
01 · Local context
The large weekly market, fairs and poultry shows draw thousands of visitors into a narrow old town centre: crowd-flow management, monitoring stalls and equipment, and pickpocketing prevention.
Bresse is a land of village fêtes, dances and outdoor firework displays, run by volunteers: this is exactly where one or two guards on the second half of the night make all the difference.
Production and processing sites, cold-storage warehouses, trading firms: night patrols, forwarding technical alarms, and guarding during closures.
The shops under the arcades see high footfall on market days and in the tourist season: a visible deterrent presence, shrinkage prevention, and supporting staff.
