It is the result of the work of hundreds of men and women, farmers, technicians, students, its author, its patron.<br \/>Bl\u00e9s Vend\u00f4me is an moment of poetry and generosity, where everyone, whoever he or she is, wherever he or she may created in the mind of mankind.<br \/>Bl\u00e9s Vend\u00f4me is also a shared meeting with CHANEL, sponsor of this work which will later be exhibited in Saumur, Gabrielle Chanel&#8217;s birth city, who has always seen wheat as a lucky charm and has always surrounded herself with it.<br \/>With Bl\u00e9s Vend\u00f4me, I want to remind everyone how much the spirit of man, when acting with respect and care, knows how to interact with nature, draw from it inspiration to nourish and beautify mankind.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until tomorrow, impossible not to stop to admire the Place Vend\u00f4me spectacular work by Gad Weil.
