The charter that the traders in the Dune reception area must follow requires them to favor local products and materials and to offer handcrafted objects.
Thus, one of the cultural shops, the Panier du Bassin, sells various wooden objects (magnets, boxes, etc.) made by the Vivre mon rêve association.
Based in the Arcachon Basin, in Mios, this association welcomes and supports people with disabilities, particularly with the aim of supporting caring families.
The co-founder of this association, Mr Cousteau, a retired cabinetmaker, makes wooden objects and involves some young people in this work.
Le Panier du Bassin is the only point of sale for these items, which almost single-handedly finance the association.
The President of the Syndicat Mixte de la Dune, Nathalie Le Yondre, welcomed the founders of the association and the educators who support these adolescents and young adults this Wednesday morning.
