A PPP for revitalising downtown La Teste de Buch

Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring, with the backing of the Crédit Agricole regional bank, Aquitaine, on 7 November 2011 concluded a public/private partnership (PPP) with the city of La Teste de Buch towards the financing, design, construction and maintenance of its new city hall.

Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring opted to surround itself with a team that has recognised expertise (1) to successfully carry out the operation.
