Costazzura, a guide with a big heart

The launch of the guide was an opportunity to honor the victims of the terrible terrorist attack, the tragedy that claimed 84 lives on July 14, 2016 and caused 200 injuries. Some of the injured are children still hospitalized at Lenval Hospital. Also, the launch of Costazzura was the occasion of a sale of Blue Chairs, emblems of the Promenade des Anglais, such as those gracing the cover of the 15th guide, but miniatures, to benefit the Fondation Lenval. Laurence Poncelet, from the Boutique La Chaise Bleue, offered them.
The Blue Chairs were proposed to the participants of the evening by the young models who presented the Winter collection of the Boutique Scapa Nice.
