On Wednesday, October 13, 2010, in Paris, Jean-Michel Galy, Municipal Councillor, Sub-delegate for Senior Citizenship, Vice-President of the Communal Centre for Social Action, received the national award for cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants for the general policy that the city conducts in favor of seniors.
