“The title of artisan is not just a common name. It is a distinction that carries a rich and precise meaning, the recognition of a unique way of living, producing and doing business, based on know-how, which you now carry. It is therefore up to you, generation of graduates, to take up this torch and like me, be proud to be”, concludes Xavier Perret.
