Can a professional display go ahead in Gironde during a ban?

Which declaration is filed for a fireworks display in Gironde?

For a show using F4 or T2 articles, or more than 35 kg of net explosive content, the CERFA 14098 is filed with the préfecture and the town hall at least one month ahead. PyroDesk pre-fills it from the job file.
