Transmission, shared values and a second entrepreneurial life in Bourges

From 29 rooms to 600, the SHG adventure is more than a story of growth — it’s the expression of a family and entrepreneurial vision, carried by Antoine Falleur, and now handed over in a redesigned and expanded framework that stays true to its essence.

 

According to Bertrand Pullès (EXTENDAM), each transmission is unique. There’s no universal formula, but one crucial starting point: shared values — the real foundation of a lasting project.

 

Jérôme Bosc – MRICS (ALBORAN | Hotels & Hospitality) highlights the human dimension: teams, life paths, and faces behind every hotel are what give the project its strength. This same human foundation, combined with local and collective ambition, now drives the momentum toward Bourges 2028.

 

What this operation reveals:

→ A transition built on clarity and trust
→ A strong local anchoring in a territory poised for European visibility
→ A collective entrepreneurial dynamic, balancing operational know-how, strategic support, and shared vision

 

Bourges, designated European Capital of Culture, is preparing to welcome 1 million tourists by 2028 — and this renewed, restructured hotel portfolio will be one of its cornerstones.

In Paris, Racine Tower reborns alongside Sorbonne Nouvelle

Once the headquarters of France’s National Forestry Office (ONF), this iconic example of 1970s naturalist architecture has been revitalized, blending poetry and technique in a design that engages with what was already there.

Through this restructuring, Racine takes on a new role in its neighborhood, becoming a new urban beacon.

Its reinvention is rooted in fertile ground and now rises majestically toward the sky.

 

Maud Caubet’s work focused on several key principles:

 

✔️ Building with the existing: reinvesting underground spaces by turning parking levels into bright, high-quality spaces

 

✔️ Creating a public urban connection between two neighborhoods
Racine acts as a bridge between Boulevard de Saint-Mandé and Rue de Picpus, returning a new vegetated public space to the city

 

✔️ Prefiguring reversible uses
Offices, housing, hotel… Racine can now adapt over time to the neighborhood’s evolving needs without requiring major construction

 

✔️ Reaching for the sky with a bioclimatic crown
A new rooftop crown completes the green roof on the ground extension and integrates an educational urban farm — a transparent, light-filled space offering unique views of Paris

 

✔️ Reuse and craftsmanship
4 tons of materials were recovered and reused off-site by woodworking associations. The project called on skilled craftspeople for specialized restoration work

 

✔️ Vegetation as a primary material
Present on every floor, functional greenery enhances occupant well-being and strengthens the site’s biodiversity and cooling role within the neighborhood
