We are still far from the mark. More than two years after the launch of the “1000 cafes” operation - an initiative which aims to reopen or set up a multiservice café (grocery store, bakery, parcel point, etc.) in towns lacking local shops - she is struggling to present concrete results.

It must be said that in the meantime the health crisis has seriously complicated things. The very first café of the project, inaugurated on March 15, 2020, had to lower the curtain the same evening, due to the first confinement.
