There were a lot of people in the family photo for this first public moment of the Sun Trip France 2020, this Friday, July 3 in Albertville town hall. Institutional and private partners came to say why they believed in this “post-crisis” project. It was also an opportunity to present the full program of the event in Savoie, a final at the summit, from August 6 to 9.
