This competition was organized to restore the image of small local shops, often undermined by the appearance of large shopping areas.

After difficult months linked to the health context, it reminded us that local shops are the soul of our city centers ”, rejoices Jean-Pierre Lehmann, president of the Association des Vitrines de France.
