In the Saint-Agathe Chapel in Saint-Desiré, an inscription referring to a children programme in television was written for several days on the wall. The last time it was painted on the 19th August in red. The municipality decided to file a complaint with the police.

These are lamentable, despicable acts. Some people are unconscious of degrading historical monuments such as our chapel. I am scandalized. Today, the sacred and places of worship are no longer respected. » -Nadège Vermez (Mayor)
