The prefecture square is going to get a makeover!

Ultimately, 1,000 m² additional pedestrian area will be created. "We wanted a clear, harmonious fountain square to better reveal the architectural heritage of the square and its reliefs", detailed Jacqueline Osty, landscaper in project manager.

Barely the time to return to Floracois lands that the local company is already ready to take the wind again, this time for Clermont-Ferrand, from February 20 to 24, for the opening of a pop-up store. "We refuse the resale of our clothes by others, so we go to people. We know that we have dormant potential customers", indicates Julien Tuffery. And events in other destinations flash through his mind: Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Paris, Bordeaux… hellip; The objective is not to maintain a store in each city – "we do not have the jeans to sell even if our new production unit can produce better" –, but rather to capture customers who are reluctant to buy clothing online.
