Tomorrow, the first snowflakes of winter are announced in the Jura. In the plain, winter still has plenty of time to arrive, but snow removal services are already preparing. . There is even a competition for the best snow plows. The teams of the APRR, Paris-Rhin-Rhône motorways, participated today in Choisey, near Dole. It was the 38th Winter Viability Trophy. Small day of overhaul before getting back into the bath: blade mounting, salt handling, driving with reduced visibility. Daily gestures in winter for these 42 agents of the Société des Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône. Gestures with which they have reconnected today in relaxation mode. Six tests to be completed during the day. With the gold blade of the best snow removal team in the Paris-Rhin-Rhône network in sight. Last year, Frank won the title. And quickly got back to the game. Precision tests, timed and scored to spice up the exercise. Beyond the final score and the ranking, this day especially allows these agents who maintain some 1800 km of motorway network without ever crossing, to meet at least once a year.
Driving in an electric car on the motorway is about to be possible. 15 fast chargers will be installed on rest areas in the region by the end of the year. The first of these has just been installed on the A31 on the area of Dijon Brognon. On a motorway area, you often stop there to take a break or fill up, but that day, a few meters from the gas pumps, it is a funny machine that attracts attention, a somewhat special terminal, the first of its kind installed in the region; It will allow this car to charge its batteries. You can charge between 2 and 10 euros per month for the pass, plus the cost of the refill is less than 3 euros per quarter of an hour. Passes are available on the internet or on site at the service station. In all, about fifteen electric charging stations will be installed on the Burgundy motorway network. An investment of €10 million in partnership with EDF. With a terminal every 80km on average, motorists will be able to travel through Paris Lyon by electric car by the end of the year.

"LOUIS XIII at the age of sixteen" is the title of the exceptional bronze of finesse and elegance, signed François RUDE, which makes its entry, today, at the Museum of Fine - Arts of Dijon. It joins the 38 statues and 175 drawings of the Dijon sculptor that count the museum. The novelty is that this acquisition is the result of corporate sponsorship. The Paris-Rhine-Rhone motorways (APRR) have paid 300,000 euros for this work but they will then be able to deduct 90% of the amount committed from corporation tax. A transaction, therefore, relatively cheap but paying in terms of image.
