The couple is very active in the town. “Michelle, you have been a volunteer at the media library since it opened. You, André, you were one of the pillars of the Clampins de-la-Roue, as well as of the Hamois Animation Committee. You also lend a hand to the Confrérie Saint-Nicolas de Yutz as well as to the Une Rose un Espoir association in Sierck-les-Bains. You enjoy walking and reading, board games and crafts. All these years have strengthened the bond that unites you and make your couple an example for us. You told me you didn’t see the time pass.
