Same feeling for Florence André, for whom "this moment is essential and is part of the values ​​of the Barrière group. All of the group's establishments have in fact initiated a CSR approach and we must ensure that this action continues."

The The final word went to the head of the local section of Restos du coeur, Marie-France Dersch, who reminded us that "these foods and hygiene products will allow us to help some of the 250 registered in our sector. It is a real support to receive these donations and a pleasure for the 25 volunteers that we are to feel recognized in our daily mission.
