We have an entrepreneurial soul and we like to launch projects.

Commercial activity in 2025

In Quimper, they set up in the city center to create a commercial activity “on the ground floor and first floor” of their new property. The start-up is planned in September 2025.

They will occupy the upper two levels of the house. For reasons of confidentiality, they will not say more about their project. “Our idea is to make this house come alive while respecting its history and architecture,” confides Morgane and Laurent Decroix to Quimper side.

We are lucky to have found this exceptional property, in good condition. Our goal is to preserve all its charm.
