As part of the fight against violence against women, the Town Hall of Montereau-Fault-Yonne is organizing a symbolic "Red Shoes" action next November on the Town Hall square.

Pairs of red shoes will be lined up in the square. Each pair will represent a woman victim of femicide since the beginning of 2026. Painted red, these shoes will symbolize the imprint left by these women and the void created by their absence.
To carry out this installation, notably in collaboration with the Rémonde second-hand shop, the town hall is launching an appeal for donations. They are looking for women's shoes that donors no longer need. Regardless of their model, size, or condition, all pairs can contribute to this action.
A simple donation of shoes can help make visible a reality that must not be forgotten. The town hall thanks everyone in advance for their mobilization and for sharing this appeal.
