At Salon 49, the coupe is thus fixed at €34 for adults€30 for students. For children, prices decrease depending on age: from €15 for children under 5 years old to €25 for children under 13 years old. “The change was very well accepted,” swears Zoé. ” I have lots of customers Who came through activismwhether men or women.
