The "breakfast of the heart" operation returns for the sixth year in a row at the Café de la Paix. From June 7 to 17, 2016 , Parisians and tourists crisscrossing the capital can have their breakfast at the Café de la Paix , while supporting the Mécénat cardiac surgery association . Every morning, from 8 am to 10 am , the Café de la Paix offers a breakfast package including a hot drink, an orange juice and a pastry at a price of € 5 , to eat on the spot or take away. All proceeds will be donated to the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association. Created by Prs Francine Leca and Patrice Roynette , the association collects donations to fund surgeries on children suffering from heart defects from disadvantaged countries. The godmother of the operation "the breakfasts of the heart" which is none other than Inès de la Fressange , will be accompanied this year by the French actress Barbara Shulz . At the launch on June 7, 2016 , she will be present to help distribute breakfast. Need a surplus of motivation? Not only do we do a good deed, but we also pay the luxury of lunch in one of the largest cafe in Paris and at low prices! (Normally, butter sandwich only costs € 5).

It should also be noted that Francine Leca, the first female cardiac surgeon in France, has just published with Brigitte Hemmelin-Petitgrand "Care for the Hearts" (ed.Kero) in which she tells the story of several of her small patients. Since the creation of Mécénat cardiac surgery, 2600 children have been cared for while their disease condemned them in their country for lack of appropriate surgery. The copyrights of the book are also donated in full to Mécénat cardiac surgery
