It's a meeting she wouldn't miss for anything in the world. Every year since 1997, Michèle Laroque responds during the gathering Bastardsin order to collect as many donations as possible to support the Restaurants of Heart. The mobilization of artists is essential for the association created by Coluche: in fact, the series of concerts and the resulting products make it possible to meet the needs of the most deprived. Last year, the Enfoirés celebrated their 35th anniversary.
“Honestly, this anniversary hurts my heart… We talked about it a lot with the other artists. As recalled by the president of Les Restos, Patrice Douret, the association almost went out of business, because there were not enough funds to meet demand. We are appalled to see this… and angry, because, at a given moment, even if the Restaurants do the job, it is also up to the public authorities to act and take the necessary responsibilities. Today, the fight against poor housing, poverty, precariousness… must become a priority in our country“, Nolwenn Leroy confided to us.

One day, he did not hesitate to be very direct with the actress.

Despite this little hitch, the actress's investment always seemed to convince the performer toFly me away. “What he likes, he has often told me, is that I give it my all, I don't save myself. It's sport too, all the education I had, we are here to be generous, it's extraordinary to see what happens“, she adds.
