Ostréa was born from several encounters. It began with the meeting of four entrepreneurs who were passionate about the sea and its resources, but most importantly, their encounter with oyster farmers in Riec-sur-Bélon, Brittany. Together, they observed that oyster, mussel, and scallop shells were not being recycled and were ending up in technical landfill sites. Considering that oyster farming generates 250,000 tons of shells annually, Camille Callennec, Tanguy Blevin, Maxime Roux, and Théo Joy took on the challenge of transforming this waste into recycled, low-carbon, and made in France material by offering a marine terrazzo with the appearance of marble or natural stone.
Congratulations on this wonderful idea!

The French and European hotel industry continued to record increased RevPAR in October 2023, according to the monthly barometer conducted by EXTENDAM and its partners. October is traditionally a good month for the hotel industry, benefiting from a corporate segment present in the first half and a week of All Saints’ Day when “bleisure” destinations manage to reach full capacity, as explained by Vianney Lautrous, Asset Management Manager at EXTENDAM. With this momentum, France achieved an occupancy rate of 70% in October, showing a slight decline in activity compared to last year.
Citizen associations and cooperatives play an important role in the social acceptance of renewable energies. Many of them have been established in Paris region with the goal of promoting renewable energies in their area, organized through Energie Partagée network.
For instance, O’Watt citoyen installs solar panels on the roof of ESSEC Business School to promote individual self-consumption. This cooperative, part of Energie partagée, also explores other projects, some of which operate on a collective self-consumption model!
