Publisher
This site is published by Gérald Lefebvre, a private individual, on a non-professional basis.

Non-professional publisher: French law (LCEN, article 6-III-2) allows a private individual who runs a site outside any professional activity to keep their home address private, provided the identity of their host is published instead. That is the case here: the host is named below, and you can write to us at any time.
