Jewels against harassment

#NÎMES – Hanane (46 years old) and Nessrine (13 years old), from Nîmes, have just launched L’atelier Ness. Founded in March, it offers sensory jewelry that allows you to keep the scent of a loved one all day long. "My daughter was seriously bullied in primary school", remembers Hanane. So Nessrine had an idea: "When I was little, I always had my mother's T-shirt with me. I thought that bracelets with the smell of parents would be great for children."
Today, they sell their jewelry online (www.latelier-ness.sumupstore.com) and customer feedback is encouraging.

New life for Villa Rey saved by a family

After months of construction, they are living in part of the house and are preparing to open Arlett, a vintage bicycle café. “The idea was to respect the original building. We take care of everything that is visible, we use materials that do not distort it”, explains Olivier Marguerat. As for the bike café, “the philosophy is that we don't want to sell bikes online but welcome people to the store”. A workshop and a washing area will also be accessible to cyclists and by 2026, guest rooms will be built.
