Since the creation of the Équipe cycliste Groupama-FDJ, Groupama is heavily invested into the promotion of cycling for all, on all territories.
Groupama’s program « Par passion du vélo » (“ By passion of cycling ”) addresses all cycling enthusiasts aiming to motivate people to practice a healthy activity, to transmit the joy of discovering our territories while riding a bike and thus having fun doing sports. This program is divided into several concrete actions articulated around 4 major commitments:
1. Valuing cycling where you are living it everyday
2. Developing products and services used to protect practitioners
3. Contributing to a territory dynamic, respectful of the practice of cycling
4. Promoting the future of cycling by revealing tomorrow’s talents

The french National Lottery was founded in 1933 in order to help the victims of the First World War, who were unable to work, by redistributing stakes. The « Loterie Nationale », which later became FDJ®, is now a leading company in the gambling market (4th Lottery in the world). Its strength is its ability to constantly renew its game offer by adapting to new consumers’ uses. Relying on a distribution network of more than 30 000 points of sales and a digital offer on smartphones and tablets, FDJ has more than 26 million customers.
Innovation, proximity and local roots are part of the values of cycling, « the people’s sport » as Marc Madiot likes to call it. On January 1st of 1997, the former Paris-Roubaix winner and FDJ united themselves to create the Équipe cycliste FDJ, and for more than 20 years, the structure grew up relying on the triptych: training, collective strength and performance development.
These values, commitment and growth axes are all shared by Groupama, which in 2018 chose to support the Équipe cycliste Groupama-FDJ with a common goal: lead the largest french cycling team to its best !

Café Méo’s history began in early 1920s when Jules and Emile Meauxsoone (two brothers from Warneton in Belgium and aged a dozen years) fled the German occupation and arrived in Lille, France. They started selling dairy products, poultry and coffee on the markets to support their families.
But soon after, Jules and Emile abandoned poultry and dairy products to focus entirely on coffee which at that time was of poor quality. Indeed, 1928 they opened their first store where they were amongst the first to obtain several licenses for direct coffee importation that allowed them to select their own products and thus improve their quality.
Maintaining an impeccable quality of coffee was the goal and remains the principal mission today.
