René and Florence are 76 years apart and live in a shared apartment.
After spending his first confinement alone in Cannes, René, 99, decided to call on an association to fight loneliness.
Thanks to
Toit en Tandem
and the
Cohabilis
network
(Intergenerational Solidarity Cohabitation), he now shares his daily life with Florence. In exchange for a symbolic rent of 35 euros per month, the young woman devotes time to René, which she does with joy: “Commitment is company, being there. But if there is a day when I cannot be there, I will try to do an activity with René to compensate. It comes naturally, you don't count your hours. "
The association offers another type of contract where the young person is simply housed and does not commit his time.
The rent is then between 150 and 400 euros per month.
The profiles are selected to find accounts between people.
For René and Florence, it was the trip that brought them together.
Their respective families get along very well today: “It's like an adopted grandfather.
