She arrives and leaves the door wide open. ” I lose my shoes smiles Brigitte Bourguignon as she walks into the small room at the back of the office. In this pocket handkerchief, it’s a beehive atmosphere: “little hands” more organized than an army, juggle between data entry and messages on mobile phones.
