What people are saying
My family remains deeply committed to the industrial world, but we think that renovating the Hotel de la Poste is an undertaking full of challenges and opportunities, not only economic ones.
I will stay alongside the hotel to accompany and support this transition.
The world of hospitality is changing rapidly. For a family, continuing to compete alone in this situation would have become increasingly difficult.
