AT THE HEART OF TERRITORIES 2022

Shopping centers, places that interact with their territory

Entrepreneurship Supporting jobs for women

What would you say to a pop-up store to celebrate female entrepreneurship? Our Beaulieu shopping center in Nantes said a resounding “yes”! In collaboration with ADI (Association pour le Droit à l’Initiative Economique), a shop-sharing initiative, Les Créatrices Audacieuses, allowed some 15 local entrepreneurs to show their products and creations for three months. They were able to test their products - from sweet treats to fashion accessories - with our visitors. The initiative earned Les Créatrices Audacieuses a visit from Élisabeth Moreno, France’s Minister for Equality between Women and Men at the time. Their creative enthusiasm is infectious - as the initiative showed!

Attentive to all

Shopping centers are places of constant mingling and activity, a dynamic that may seem excessive to some customers. But they are open to all, and we are committed to making them accessible to the most sensitive thanks to “silent hour” slots. Silent hours are dedicated time slots, often scheduled on weekday mornings, where some of our centers dim the lights and turn off the music to ensure more peace and quiet for our visitors while they shop.
