Success Stories

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and depth of the labor pool, whether in Aix, Marseille, or across the Region Sud. We took advantage of the lockdown to move part of the company to Aix-en-Provence. The region is beautiful, it takes five or ten minutes to get to the office, which is impossible in Paris.
