The Christmas enthusiasm at the Le Méditerranée restaurant in Perpignan lasted very little. The media The Independent explains that on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, The owners of the shop put a nativity scene in their shop window.. An initiative designed to beautify the street and add to the festive atmosphere of the season, as explained. .

But the surprise was immediate: just a few hours after its installation, the shop window was the target of two egg-throwing incidents in a single day.

«We have to endure the whole of December.«

The staff put up the nativity scene in the morning. At midday the first egg attacks arrived. The restaurant staff cleaned them up quickly. At 6 pm, at the end of the day, they discovered that the display case had been attacked a second time.

“If they already throw two eggs at us on the first day, what will happen next? We have to endure the whole of December.”The organisers say the aim was simply to add some decoration and a bit of cheer to the street.“We really like Christmas and find the whole thing very lamentable. What's certain is that we won't take down the nativity scene, whether people like it or not.. ”Anyone who isn't happy can just move on," says Yalap, who is even prepared to act as a watchman if necessary.

The restaurant's management are unaware of the exact motive behind the attack: whether it was a gesture against the nativity scene itself, a religious critique or, simply, a rejection of the Christmas decorations. But one thing is clear: Le Méditerranée has no intention of giving up tradition..
