Our fax number has changed. It is now: +33 9 55 29 00 22. The previous number (+33 1 30 86 00 10) will remain active during a few months, and will then disappear. We recommend you to delete it from all your files and to take note of our new fax line: +33 9 55 29 00 22. To send us a fax, use only this number from now on. We have not moved, all the rest remains without change: the phone number +33 1 30 86 00 33, the emails, the postal address in Houilles and the web site are unchanged.
