With a RevPAR, occupancy rate, and average price on the rise in June, the French hotel industry managed to surpass last year’s excellent performance during the same period. Traditionally one of the best months of the year, June 2023 was no exception according to the monthly barometer conducted by EXTENDAM and its partners.

Thus, France concludes the month with an occupancy rate of 79% (+2 points compared to 2022), on par with the European average. This dynamism is particularly driven by the 88% recorded in Île-de-France (+4 points).

While still a senior high school student, Jules Simiand Brocherie created a scholastic support website called Elèves Solidaires (Solidary Students) for high school and college students during the lockdown. The goal was to share lessons, study guides, and help each other during a time when disengagement was prevalent.

Since 2020, the website has evolved and transformed into ExtraStudent, a genuine student social network that continues to facilitate sharing of academic materials, while also offering school presentations, virtual career fairs, discussions on various topics, all aimed at helping students find answers to their questions!

A wonderful idea that fosters connections, applauded by Les Grandes Idées!

The former Little Palace has undergone a transformation to emerge as a 4-star hotel that combines the spirit of a guesthouse with that of a Parisian hotel. The refurbishment of the premises by EXTENDAM and the VICARTEM group, through its subsidiary Younight Hospitality, has elevated this new establishment, creating an environment conducive to imagination and relaxation.

Its name Solly refers to Salomon de Caus, a great traveler, engineer and architect, who has infused the entire establishment with a curious, creative and globally-minded spirit. The Solly restores the true meaning of hospitality, caring for the little things that make a big difference. The hotel is a true life facilitator, where time seems to stand still.

The Solly features 51 rooms spread across 4 categories (cozy, comfort, junior suite, suite) with orientations towards an interior courtyard or square. Some rooms have a furnished balcony and views of La Gaîté Lyrique and the rooftops of Paris.

DesCodeuses is the story of Souad Boutegrabet, a woman from underprivileged neighborhoods, passionate about computer science. Due to the need for quick job integration and family financial responsibilities, she did not pursue a career in the digital field.

In 2017, Souad decided to create DesCodeuses, aiming to empower women from Priority Urban Zones (QPV) to seize opportunities in the digital sector, which initially appears unwelcoming to women. In fact, women make up less than 30% of technical professions, and a completely overlooked issue exists: the absence of women from priority neighborhoods, both urban and rural. To address this social problem, DesCodeuses developed a tailored program specifically targeting women from these neighborhoods, considering peripheral obstacles to accessing technical training and jobs. Through DesCodeuses, companies commit to bringing more diversity to their technical teams, adding value to their business.

DesCodeuses work to ensure that social background and gender are not obstacles to women’s ambitions. An initiative that is close to our hearts at Les Grandes Idées.
