The new Bus was inaugurated in Lille on September 27, to mark World Heart Day (September 29) and the second anniversary of the launch of our action. The photos of the women decorating the Bus were taken during the Maubeuge stopover in September, when the 2023 tour resumed. The final stages of the year will now be completed, offering nearly 2,000 women a complete screening in the best possible conditions.
