HOBBIES

Well known as constantly striving for perfection in everything he does, Victor GREU, Professor of Communications, has, as hobbies, literature, music collections (including high fidelity, audio equipments and technology) and garden care,  considered as means of communication with the human spirit and the environment, practicing these sincerely, while meeting the nature thanks to such special instruments which feed the soul too, proving that he does not know to rest, and telling us, including this way, who he is. The last but not the least, it seems that he is confirming the words of Cicero that everything we need is only a garden and a library.
