St Hubert: 50 Years of Great Success

Beatrice Richard · 3 highlights

  1. “Nevertheless, he has the soul of a go-getter. At the time he meets Hélène, René is playing water polo with Roland. A powerful and aggressive player, he scores goals and quickly becomes the backbone of the team. In this respect, he went to the right school. Three times champion in Greco-Roman wrestling, the young man has been practicing this noble discipline since his early childhood. The experience left an indelible mark on him: a winner’s temperament. When he starts something, he has only one thing in mind: to win. An ability that will prove very useful to him later.”

  2. “The clientele. That’s where the problem lies: they need to find a solution to increase it, and quickly. Otherwise, what’s the point of serving the best chicken in the world with the brightest smile? And besides, the couple’s savings are melting away before their eyes. At this rate, the Légers will soon have to shut the doors. However, Hélène refuses to even consider such a possibility. Succumbing to discouragement is simply not like her. For her, hopeless causes do not exist. As for René, he doesn’t know the word “panic.” On the contrary, as a true athlete, it’s often when he’s backed into a corner that he performs at his best. A quality that will prove very useful in the coming months.”
