Mérignac Business Club Aims for 300 Members After Train Accident

On November 2, 2026, Mérignac's business community focused on economic updates while navigating a tragic incident. The local Chamber of Entrepreneurs celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in October with over 150 attendees, including Mayor Vanessa Fergeau-Renaux and Deputy Marie Récalde. Following the pandemic crisis which reduced membership from 350 to around 204 under new director Grégory Makiela, the organization aims to reach 300 members within a few years to become the first economic network in the metropolitan area. Separately, on November 9, a train struck an individual near Mérignac on the Bordeaux-Le Verdon line, causing traffic interruptions; authorities are investigating whether it was suicide.
