First it has no interest because you can do it in a normal menu.

Now imagine that you load a Virtuemart menu module under the link Démarrer. You can show all categories even if they have different levels organise them by columns.

How to do it :

Creat a link uner Démarrer in which you load another module

flatlist menu link

Choose a separator type.

flatlist menu type

Then create a column in this item to give it a width

flatlist new column

Then we have a column of 360px width in which we can load the module

flatlist module loading

The last step is to create the columns in the other module just loaded.This module must have the layout set on flatlist and it can be a normal menu or a Virtuemart one.
