ANR is dedicated to strengthening friendship, solidarity, and support among retirees across France. Our mission is to promote dignity, social connections, and collective voice for seniors, ensuring that retirees and their families are supported in daily life, their rights are protected, and their interests—both material and moral—are safeguarded.

Through a combination of information, advocacy, activities, and publications, ANR empowers retirees to remain active, informed, and engaged members of society. By fostering social ties and providing practical guidance, we help seniors maintain independence, well-being, and a sense of purpose in retirement.

Our Vision

We envision a society where retirees are respected, supported, and empowered to live fulfilling lives. In our vision:

• Retirees and their families enjoy strong social support networks, access to accurate information, and protection of their rights.

• Communities value the contributions of older adults and provide opportunities for engagement and participation.

• Public policies reflect the needs and aspirations of retirees, ensuring social justice, dignity, and inclusion.

• Society at large recognizes the importance of intergenerational solidarity and the voice of seniors in shaping public life.

ANR’s vision is a world in which retirement is not isolation but opportunity, connection, and empowerment.
