Les jardins de la voie romaine (The Gardens of Roman road)
"In 2010, a surprising association emerged, a partnership between VINCI and Cocagne network: an organic and solidary garden located in Beaune-la-Rolande, along the road A19.
Its mission: to test and validate new tools to fight against exclusion.
The story is of an unlikely encounter. That of the VINCI group and the Network Cocagne. "We had a deserted field beside the A19. We wanted to enhance it. In talking with our VINCI Foundation for the City, we decided to create a biological but also solidarity, "said Marc Bouron, deputy director of Cofiroute (subsidiary of VINCI Group) and now president of the association."
