TESTIMONIALS
Safety in Action Day
Safety in Action Day
"The working relationship with the Matmut stadium teams (Capucine and Mélanie) was great. They met all our expectations and took care of all our different requests. On the day of the event, the production teams were always available and highly professional. The venue was perfectly suited to our event (car parking space available, located in Lyon). We would certain consider using the venue again for a future event."
