Paris, June 17, 2026
For the second consecutive year, Richelieu Banking Group has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes by actively participating in a fundraising gala held on June 15, 2026, aboard Les Jardins du Pont Neuf, a riverboat venue in the heart of Paris.
This initiative builds on the Group’s ongoing support for the association’s projects. Since 1954, Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes has been dedicated to promoting inclusion, education, and improving the quality of life of people with profound multiple disabilities and intellectual disabilities.
A Unifying Evening of Rock and Solidarity
Under a warm summer sky, more than 300 guests—including employees of Richelieu Banking Group, partners, patrons, and friends of the association—gathered for an evening highlighted by an electrifying rock concert.
The atmosphere was both festive and purposeful, driven by the energy of the rock band The Night Flyers, whose performance of timeless classics and exclusive covers kept the audience captivated throughout the evening.
Thanks to the generosity and commitment of all those in attendance, significant funds were raised to support the association’s innovative projects, demonstrating the tangible impact that collective initiatives can have for Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes.
A Shared Commitment to Inclusion and Solidarity
Faced with a chronic shortage of care and support facilities, particularly in the Paris region, Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes continues to mobilize its efforts to meet growing needs. The recent opening of a specialized residential care home, providing accommodation for 16 people with profound multiple disabilities, reflects this commitment. The project offers a long-term solution for families seeking appropriate care and support. Other initiatives are also under consideration, including residential facilities for children with neurodevelopmental disorders and the development of inclusive housing for adults.
“Donations are essential to our work, and we are deeply grateful to our patrons, including Richelieu Banking Group, for their unwavering support. At a time of changes in funding models, the transformation of the medico-social sector, and growing unmet needs, parent-led associations such as Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes face significant challenges. Every donation makes a difference, enabling us to continue our mission and bring our projects to life,” said Nathalie Betting, President of Les Papillons Blancs de Vincennes.
“We are proud of the commitment shown by both our Group and our employees in France, who turned out in force for this event. Jean-Marc Ribes, Chairman of the Executive Board of Banque Richelieu France, has been personally dedicated to this cause for many years. We are fortunate to have a leader who is not only a banker but also a rock musician! His involvement, together with that of our teams, reflects the values of solidarity and openness that define our Group,” said Sylvain Fondeur, Chief Executive Officer of Richelieu Banking Group.
