Published on 26 November 2017

On November 26, 2017, the 68 trees of the Grand Paris Express were planted in the nursery Appel d’air, in Vive les Groues, with the help of their sponsors and many volunteers. This workshop, which symbolizes the inauguration of the Appel d’air nursery, was accompanied by a drawing workshop, a sowing workshop, an embroidery workshop, the ceremony of adoption of the trees by the first 16 residents, and a show. Back in pictures!

This event, which celebrated the end of the fall volunteer workcamps and the arrival of the first 68 trees on the Groues site, was organized in partnership with Yes We Camp and as part of the Société du Grand Paris commission.
