This year, the Bosrou'mois rose team saw things big. On Saturday October 2, around twenty models for a day will parade in the village hall of Bosc Roger in Roumois, on loan from the town hall. "I wanted to mark the occasion," says Anne-Marie.

The models will be women with breast cancer, or in remission, disabled or overweight.

An evening that she wants to be exceptional for the public but especially for these women. “It will be their day. They will be dolled up, participate in a photo shoot, wear beautiful outfits…”

For this, three clothing stores have agreed to play the game: Mon Petit Dressing in Grand-Bourgtheroulde, Dressing Tendance & Chic in Saint-Aubin-les-Elbeuf and Just'Elles in Elbeuf. “These are brands that I appreciate, which share our values. They accepted immediately,” says the organizer. The stores will present 10 outfits each, on sale at the end of the parade. “They will donate 20% of the profits to the pink Bosrou'mois. »
