shops to create links between generations

In Lyon, Café Daddy hopes to mix generations. Bonds are created and friendships are born between the members of this associative neighborhood bistro. In a room, free activities are organized. Those who can’t get around on foot or by car can take the pedicab, an electric bicycle taxi partner of the café. Time to break the isolation around a good meal.

Mix of businesses

In Crès (Hérault), a retirement home organizes tea dances between the residents and the inhabitants of the village “it works so well that they are looking for a new room”, says Valérie Heurtel. In the North, seniors are invited to eat in the canteen with the children in Tressin. “In Oxelaere (…) the mayor has closed the canteen, it is the village restaurant which welcomes the little ones among the customers”. And in Bayonne, a laundromat is also a hairdressing and manicure salon, while serving coffee. “There are plenty of businesses like that that create links (…) And it makes life more beautiful”concludes Valérie Heurtel.
