Anne created “1000 vies”
An intergenerational café in Saint-Genis-Laval
My dream is simply to make the people around me happy.
I don't know if it's a great cause, but it's mine.Anne
The concept
We live in a society where everything moves too fast, and the moment someone is no longer professionally active, they struggle to find their place.
Anne wanted to rebuild the virtuous circle of social connection by giving elderly people a renewed sense of purpose and joy in life — to preserve social bonds, promote independence, and extend autonomy.
In 2021, she opened an intergenerational café in Saint-Genis-Laval to help reconnect generations.
