Hello,

What about a Triton (type of salamander) for the DOUDOU mascott.
It's a very particular animal which could came across the world's
children adventures.

I have organize a drawing workshop to capture inspiration. ;-)

Amicalement,
GK

>> Please tell me your feelings and if alternative ideas are arising.
