The Comité Montaigne supports and hosts the Sapins des Créateurs event. Proceeds from the project go to cancer research under the patronage of Professor Khayat, President and Founder of the Charte de Paris contre le Cancer and of the Institut International de Cancérologie de Paris. Directed by Marie-Christiane Marek, President of the Association des Sapins des Créateurs, each year the biggest names in fashion, design and architecture create extraordinary Christmas trees to be sold at auction.
