Agreement with the Greta

The teaching team which trains Greta interns is made up of trainers from complementary backgrounds. Some are teachers at the École hôtelière de Biarritz, others come from the profession and hold adult trainer diplomas.
Trainees in training
The restaurant will be open to the public, in the brasserie register, but will offer special services to residents of Le Petit Desire, who will be able to take or order their meals there. A kitchen has been fitted out to allow trainees, under the guidance of trainers, to prepare the dishes.
Claude Olive, president of the Office 64 of housing and mayor of Anglet, has thus completed a project that he had placed among the most important of his previous term. As mayor, he had made the former dancing grounds available to Housing Office 64. It was primarily a matter of making an offer of 34 social housing units specially designed for the reception of seniors wishing to stay close to their usual places of residence, in the Saint-Jean district, a stone’s throw from the town hall, many health and commercial services and public transportation.
The apartments are equipped with a complete home automation system as well as technical solutions promoting the comfort and safety of the elderly and their support in the evolution of their state of health. The whole has a convivial room to allow residents to meet. Two businesses must also be set up on the ground floor. One person performs full-time concierge, support and animation missions.
