We had the pleasure of being received by Marine Bonnet, who was really excellent in her role, theatrical, with a lot of humor and very interesting information. Very rewarding experience. Time passed very quickly and we even continued to chat a little at the exit, which she did very gladly with great kindness. I highly recommend this visit around me.
All right.
