Vers pomme

“We’re sharing! ‘We’re worms of solidarity’ exclaims a chorus of caterpillars as greedy as they are altruistic: do we need to explain this dialogue? If so, would you like a drawing?

With over 120 shops, Balexert is the largest shopping centre in French-speaking Switzerland, offering a wide range of services, boutiques and restaurants for all tastes. In addition to its commercial vocation, Balexert maintains a strong link with the Fondation Partage by hosting one of the main collection points for Samedis du partage, thereby contributing to local solidarity.
