- A year in Provence by Peter Mayle
Who hasn't dreamed to live in the south of France, to see every day azure skies.
Provençal's cooking with fresh salad, the flavours of the olives are strenghten by the different spices used in the marinade.
Peter Mayle tells us his year in provence with wit, warmth and meaningfully.
Throughout the book, he tells us the life of his neighbors, the Provençaux grocers and butchers and farmers who amuse, confuse, and befuddle him at every turn. A Year in Provence is part memoir, part homeowner's manual, part travelogue, and all charming fun.
"A year in Provence", Peter Mayle
- Jacques SAADE, chairman of the CMA CGM
Jacques SAADE chairman of the CMA CGM Marseilles
is sceptic on the future of the Port
Jacques Saadé is the president of CMA CGM, third world shipping company; an example of growth in globalization. Jacques Saadé takes the family affair following the death of his father.
Warned investor, he bets on the beginning of economic boom in China before everyone (in early 90?S). Far from stopping in so good way Jacques Saadé buys to Bolloré the Delmas company, very well established on the African continent. Well done! The development of the Africa-Asia trade starts strongly.
Conscious of market?s realities, Jacques Saadé invests in E-business and negotiates a exclusive contract with IBM, thus providing great tracking tools to his customers, without increasing the costs.
Marseilles saw CMA CGM growing in the shade of the footbridge that haunts the quay of Arenc without taking the measurement of the presence stake of CMA CGM on Marseilles.
It is usual in Marseilles to enumerate the largest companies of the zone and saying, ?yes in Marseilles to summarize there is Gemplus (it are in Gémenos), Lustucru, Avenir Telecom, Orangina (they are in Aix les Miles) and then... ah yes, the CMA, you know the building near the motorway, A55, that?s it... ?
Marseilles thrived a long ago on the international exchanges development, and in particular, on the North Africa settlements. Globalization recalls Marseilles to its vocation of port, of Mediterranean hub, a ?Asia - North Africa ? Europe? exchanges platform.
There is something extraordinary in the development of CMA CGM. The group develops itself formidably well on the world trade expansion, the group is in Marseilles, and all occurs as if Marseilles existed independently of this development whereas it has a legitimate and major place there to take.
It would be necessary to list here corporatism and trade union meanness that prevent Marseilles benefiting from this formidable opportunity. I wouldn?t do it, it?s too depressing.
I think Marseilles should pay homage to Jacques Saadé and to all those who want to return to our city the place that it deserves in the inescapable development of the international exchanges.
I understand Jacques Saadé when he insists on the need for having a reliable port. Jacques Saadé is right when he insists on the need for Marseilles to have infrastructures fitting with the world competition. One will not make me believe that Marseilles is condemned to become a deviation on the world trade roads like said, with a form of spite Jacques Saadé in Le Monde (French newspaper).
Jacques Saadé is right, the port must live, and Marseilles will have a bright future.
