Mobility

Mobility is a fundamental freedom in our societies, closely tied to our access to cultural and leisure activities. Technological and societal developments now allow us to travel faster and farther than ever before. In France, for example, the average person traveled four to five kilometers per day in the year 1800. Today, that distance has increased tenfold—and we cover it ten times faster.

Avec les prises de consciences actuelles, les mentalités et les pratiques évoluent. Ainsi la production d’événement se veut de plus en plus durable.
