The brand sells racing bikes for a few thousand euros. In this temple of two-wheelers, would come clients from Gard, Var or Vaucluse. ” They don’t want to go back to Avignon anymore because of the traffic jams”, laments the manager of the store deployed on Boulevard Sixte Isnard for nearly 50 years.
“The town hall never consulted us and took the problem upside down. We first had to finish the exterior workarounds, like the LEO… We would have stopped many problems”, argues the manager of the store set up by his father.
