AT the arrival, the protocol is minute in order to keep the right temperature. In a few minutes, the meals are served. This afternoon, vegetarian menu: soup, pizza and salad. “We are happy to be able to offer them meals that are healthy, varied, from short circuits, from organic farming.e”, explains Éloïse Rochers, director of the Montessori Mae C. Jemison school in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis).
