Nothing destined Serge Le Boulch, who saw himself as a trapper, a veterinarian and a comedian, to become a multi-recidivist entrepreneur and the champion of living-together at all ages of life. Self-taught, he was recruited at the age of 17 by the first French interior design and decoration company of the 80s. He became the Deputy General Manager and then created his first company at 30 years old. For 20 years, he developed collaborative practices, companies to be considered as part of the crowning glory of French savoir-faire in the field of arts and crafts. At the age of 50, his attention was drawn to studies showing France's backwardness in terms of addressing the elderly in society, Serge launches Récipro-Cité to bring about operational and sustainable responses to the social needs of the cities of today and tomorrow.
