Hair salons are one of the polluting activities of our modern world. Between the use of chemical products (parabens, ammonia, synthetic perfumes) and the important water consumption, these salons are dangerous for our health and especially for the environment. Fortunately, the first French Hair Concept with low carbon footprint has just opened a 300 square meter boutique next to the Saint-Eustache church. Imagined by Stéphane Amaru and Alexandre Cruzel, the Didact Hair Building houses private space dedicated to hair: a long hair counter, a natural hair tinting salon and a shop in shop where all products are sold for wholesale prices! A small revolution in the services dedicated to hair beauty.

Open on Tuesdays from 1 to 7 pm, on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10.30 am to 7.30 pm and on Fridays and Saturdays until 8.30 pm.

A few steps away from the Eiffel Tower, in a lovely cul-de-sac of the 16th arrondissement, the terrace of the Villa Passy attracts the gaze of passers-by with its curious preserved garden. Pretty little restaurant nestled at the end of the street, it’s the ideal meeting spot for lovers of nature. The menu, limited but varied, presents fresh products and home-made dishes only. It’s difficult to make a choice among the hamburgers, perfectly crusty potato tarts, salmon and guacamole tartar and salads. Our taste buds are always impatient to discover the flavours of the day. The Villa Passy definitely is a refreshing island where it is nice to have a meal while bathing in a quiet atmosphere with a bucolic and country charm. For an hour or two, we could even forget that we actually are in Paris!

Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 12 to 10.30 pm and on Sundays until 3.45 pm.

Thanks to the energy the house produces and sells to the network, this positive energy house is capable of financing itself, therefore allowing underprivileged people to purchase it for 1 Euro. The sustainable development technologies are not an end in themselves. They also bring incredible hope to the underprivileged populations our society creates each day.
