The candidates are jostling. While the work on the future restaurant is still far from finished, there are many candidates for its management. “We would like preferably have a couple », Explains Jean Guillot, the mayor of Bréhan, in Morbihan.

“As an owner we will make an attractive lease, at the beginning, to help the managers to settle in and so that they can make some cash flow.”

The mayor “inherited” this project when he was elected first magistrate of the municipality in 2020. This is the old municipal team who had decided to buy the old establishment. ” But the building was in poor condition and the work proved to be more and more complex as the project progressed,” confides the mayor. The foundations and structure of the building pose a particular problem, hence the delay in the renovation. The condition of the building was also a object of controversyat the time between former mayor Hervé Guillemin and his successor.

From Brittany, of course, but also from all over France, particularly from the south.” Life or reconversion projects. “The CCI must make a selection for us, but I I want to see them all, I don't want anyone to miss out on the right profile. And it is a commission of elected officials who will choose the lucky ones. »

After the concern caused by a costly and hazardous project, there is now, for the mayor, a real desire to see it succeed.“There are no more restaurants in the town even though there is real potential. As an owner we will an attractive leaseat the beginning, to help the managers settle in and so that they can do a little cash. »
