Laval Hospital takes a step toward energy independence with two photovoltaic canopies installed on its parking lot, funded through citizen investment. With a capacity of 300 kWp, these installations will generate 331,000 kWh per year—covering 5% of the hospital’s electricity needs. 🌍🔋
Énergie Partagée, the leading network for citizen-led energy transition in France, supports this innovative project alongside Énergie Mayenne and See You Sun, through a citizen-funded model. This initiative is one of 21 planned solar sites in Mayenne, with a total investment of €6.8 million, open to individuals who want to invest in local and sustainable energy. 💪
This shared governance model allows citizens to become co-actors in the energy transition by directly contributing to local renewable energy production. A great example of how collective mobilization can speed up the shift toward sustainable energy autonomy!
🔹 Power: 300 kWp
🔹 Annual output: 331,000 kWh

Yesterday, La Fabrique du Tourisme brought together tourism professionals to explore a key question: How can Artificial Intelligence transform hospitality models and create financial or non-financial value?
Sponsored by Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of Bpifrance, this event addressed future trends and challenges through collaborative workshops focused on AI’s impact in hospitality. Participants worked together on four essential themes:
Workshop 1: AI & energy efficiency
Workshop 2: AI & reducing environmental impact (focus on F&B)
Workshop 3: AI & water conservation
Workshop 4: AI & sustainable design
The insights shared showed the potential of AI to transform hotel operations, improve ESG outcomes, boost efficiency, and enhance customer experience. A summary of this edition’s work will be available soon in the La Fabrique du Tourisme report!
Since 2011, La Poudrerie has been revolutionizing theater by putting the residents of Sevran and northeastern Seine-Saint-Denis at the heart of each creation. Under the leadership of Valérie Suner, this state-supported theater focuses on participatory productions where audience members become performers: creating plays based on their own experiences and sometimes hosting immersive performances in their own homes! 🎭🏠
With 120 performances annually in living rooms and parks, La Poudrerie invites everyone to reflect, debate, and share a convivial moment on key social issues. The initiative not only removes financial barriers by offering free shows but also strengthens bonds between generations, neighborhoods, and cultures. This “theater of social connection” invites us all to reinvent our relationship with art and citizenship.
👏 Kudos to La Poudrerie for this inclusive and innovative model that’s inspiring communities across the country!
