Since the island is part of Europe, the administrative process to open a food establishment is much simpler. And so, a small gelato shop on the beaches of Sainte-Anne was born, where true Italian-style artisanal gelato is made “like in the good old days”. Things go well for the business so, in 2015, his sister Sylvie together with her husband Cristian decide to leave Italy and join Gerry.
