For her new mission, Sandrine immediately demonstrates the full range of her skills as a florist. This is also the opinion of her tutor over the last five months, Carole: “Sandrine has all the qualities to practice this artisanal profession. She has great taste and above all she is interested in everything because curiosity is a strong point of the profession! She is smiling and pleasant with customers.. » Sandrine returns the favor with great admiration: “To refine my studies, I needed someone who was patient, frank and friendly. I felt at ease from the first contacts! She watches me to improve and we love the same flower: the orchid! » Thus, the handover was recorded this Tuesday, November 12 before the village notary.

A new adventure therefore begins for Sandrine with two distinct stages. Before finding herself all alone in January 2025, she will benefit from Carole's unwavering support until the end of December before the latter asserts her rights to a deserved retirement. In this last month and a half, Sandrine will be able to refine her contacts with suppliers based in Rennes and Caudan. “ It is important to work with Breton networks. We see exactly what to buy. No question of buying inexpensive and less durable foreign products! », underlines Sandrine.

Also it is fundamental to decorate well and truly arouse people’s favorites» , the new manager secretly admits. Her deep knowledge of botany allows her to assemble plants, find seasonal consistencies and amplify their virtuous beauty both in the presentation and in the symbolism of a bouquet. Ultimately nothing changes or almost nothing since Au Fleuron d'Orchidée continues its journey with the same name, the same decor, in the continuity of the service provided to the Méléciens and to the territory. “Always with the desire to promote and perpetuate a unique business that is well complementary to others at the heart of theMelecian village renowned for its high quality and eclecticism. » concludes Sandrine.
