We don’t throw away, we repair
A visit to the Repair Café of Eysines inspired us to set up something similar in the South Médoc. The idea of repairing rather than throwing

Zzzzzooooom Medoc – long live inter-generation working!
Yes, we have Zoom, the conference search engine, and enough friends and acquaintances to give a quick briefing. Furthermore, our contacts with
German and French people, ready to take part in an adventure like this, caused no problem either. Finally, as luck would have it, we found a

like
to know how to get information that could help them participate in local activities. Their requests have made us think about what possibilities
