Organic shopping in Paris – yes you can!

October 29th, 2008 by admin

For your shopping expeditions, Paris has stores which stock Ecocert SAS-certified organic foodstuffs: La Vie Claire. Established in 1946, this group has been a forerunner in terms of living in harmony with nature and offering healthy, natural and organic products.

La Vie Claire has seven key commitments: providing balanced, healthy food, selecting the best organic and natural products, guaranteeing transparency of information, encouraging the greatest respect for the environment, supporting Organic Farming businesses, developing trade which is profitable for all parties and promoting fair trade principles.

La Vie Claire has chosen to use natural timber for the outfitting of its stores, so as to stay as close as possible to nature. At the checkout, you will find carrier bags made of cornstarch and hessian. La Vie Claire stores stock a wide range of products: desserts, fruit and vegetables, dairy products, cooking aids, toiletries and beauty products, homeware and so on.

Just the place for spending money and going shopping intelligently. It all helps to take care of our planet – and it’s healthy, too!

Eco-shops in Paris: Nature & Découvertes

October 25th, 2008 by admin

Set up in 1990 by a keen lover of ecology and devotee of nature, Nature & Découvertes stores are an anthem to the protection and care of the environment. With a very broad appeal, Nature & Découvertes is the ideal place for the whole family to discover products and services which stir the emotions and bring us back to nature. François Lemarchand and his wife decided to implement a sustainable development policy backed by eco-designed products.

Nature & Découvertes was the first retail shopping company to obtain ISO 14001 certification. François Lemarchand has also set up a Foundation to get involved in protecting nature in France and Africa alongside major environmental NGOs. Every year, the Fondation Nature & Découvertes receives 100% of the profits generated by the company’s sales arm. It’s a “voluntary tax for the planet”, which the Nature & Découvertes team has set itself in a true spirit of conviction.

On a day-to-day basis, Nature & Découvertes staff carry out acts of greenness: sorting waste, saving energy and natural resources. In case you haven’t already noticed, Nature & Découvertes stores generate a peaceful, mellow atmosphere. Debate workshops are also organised to create contacts with customers.

A wide range of wares are available in stores: Products, advice and handy tips for natural homemaking and wellness, backpacking, introducing children to nature and sections devoted to organic gardening. This chain has plenty of good ideas which can be put into practice as soon as you get home.
