Friendly conviviality

However, the trio is not looking for profit at all costs. None of them have resigned From his post to EDF. “What we are looking for by doing this is above all le contact with people. It brings us out of our routine, behind the grids of a industrial site. It is rather something nice. »»

“The goal of having them a large quantityit is to allow people to search and give them a chance to find what they like. They will be able to touch and weigh the packages, but not open them or drop them. I compare this to a scratch gameexcept that there is never zero euro. People are guaranteed to leave with a market value. »»

Low prices

All at attractive pricesnamely 20 euros per kilo. “To do this, we tried to minimize the number of intermediaries as much as possible. Packages come from France and pays d’Europe Like Germany, Italy, Sweden, Austria and Spain. »»

To budget
