HOME AUTOMATION AND INNOVATION : real estate prospective vision of the smart home by nathalie molho, PARIS


The connected home - through home automation - makes its revolution and opens up infinite possibilities in the management of your daily life.
Secure home a top priority for smart home addicts
Secure home a top priority for smart home addicts


Through various aspects such as the remote control and control of the state of your water or 
electricity consumption, or the closing of the garage door, or shutters, the triggering of heating or any other
appliance at a distance, but also for security issues, among other innovations, to discover below!You will pilot, control, manage, program as Somfy ‘s company predicts 
New technologies offer more and more precise devices to manage heating time slots for example, depending on the occupancy of the house or manage the extinction of lights or automate watering ...

A comfort of life
The home automation system is responsible for executing the orders related to the predetermined scenarios by the user. The switches become "smart" and change functions according to your will. With display, they inform about the opening of a window, about temperature, or about a presence detection ... The home automation avoids us to go around the owner every time we go out to check that the lights are off. , that the gas is well cut or that the windows are well closed.
Energy savings with smart program
Enery saving with electic programs



Energy saving and environmental aspects
For some time now, the system of some household appliances allows great energy savings through programming off-peak hours, including heating triggered in some rooms only when they are visited etc ...
WHIRLPOOL has launched a set “ connectivity” which is offering  a full range of 4 devices connected, controllable and interconnectable via mobile devices IOS and Android, thanks to the dedicated application 6th SENS LIVE
The Whirlpool washer-dryer, for example, is controllable by voice via Amazon's Alexa Assistant

In terms of energy savings, the Domotic allows, for example, to obtain in each room the exact heat degree desired, which can reduce the electricity bill by 30 to 70%, notably by using light detectors. .
Smart lamps

The smart window that filters sounds
Another innovation: Sono to install on a window makes it possible to filter the sounds coming from the outside. We can thus block the sounds of the horns and let in only the birds singing ...


An innovation to discover in video, the house oriented towards the sun

LEROY MERLIN, undisputed leader in France in the DIY and decoration market, has developed a new solution for a connected house: ENKI, allowing to control various objects, including all appliances, through a single mobile application, free and interoperable. The ENKI solution is one of the best examples of LEROY MERLIN innovation ability

Securing the habitat
Active alarm from smart phone: connected security is booming
With lighting, the connected security market is the fastest growing market
Home automation makes it possible to secure its habitat, inside and outside
 the Aura * presence detector that uses ambient Wi-Fi waves propagated by Internet boxes instead of a camera or infrared sensors. The device comes in the form of a box to plug into an AC outlet that measures disturbances of the Wi-Fi wave field when people, animals are moving or when a fan is running. Depending on the event, the system sends a notification on smartphone and can also control other home automation devices (lighting, camera ...). It can also be controlled by voice via the Google
Assistant or Alexa. The usage scenarios mentioned are quite varied: detection of intrusion, surveillance of an elderly person, a teenager, comings and goings of a pet ...
Aura promises thanks to new technologies, I quote "... remote control switches, doors, bells, cameras, windows, stories and other devices by the same system, home automation to adjust alarms, locks, and secure premises, this management can be done via smartphone, tablet or voice-guided keyboard "


Simulation of presence
Presence simulation
Presence simulation

Some systems to turn on the indoor lights to simulate a presence, trigger an alarm, notify the owner or a security company contacted by a phone number or SMS. These actions are programmed and started from a phone or computer over the Internet!
Finally, the installation can be coupled with a video surveillance that warns in case of intrusion into the house, (for example: the presence detector Aura) records and stores the digital images. A very simple system. As long as you benefit from ADSL and connect its cameras. The interest: to be able to visualize one's house from anywhere in the world. Because home automation also makes it possible t manage the home from a distance.
The company Somfy, which promises a "Zen and connected" home  launches the Outdoor Camera, so  sensitive that it knows to distinguish a human from an animal or a car. When an unknown person approaches, the loudspeaker warns him that he is in the line of sight of the camera before triggering  the alarm after a configurable delay. The members of the household are recognized, either by the geolocation of their smartphone, or by a badge that can activate or cut the system. The camera will be marketed next summer, its price has not been released.

Disadvantages of Home Automation
Home automation is not very accessible.
As the price of equipment remains quite high. Domotics is therefore rather considered as a luxury.
These ingenious equipments are very expensive. The French still seem reluctant to install these home automation techniques that, in an ordinary house, cost about 14,000 to 23,000 euros, against 9,000 to 15,000 euros for a conventional electrical installation.
Moreover, in an environment where the consumer is sometimes anxious to have to memorize all the instructions for use of the many technological tools that surround him, Domotics appears as an addition al complication, despite It aims the opposite.
There is also the problem of the lifetime: a house lasts 50 or 100 years, a boiler 20 years. For an electronic system it is much less; This is a significant drag if we add to that the difficulties of after-sales service.

Smart lighting: Always smarter lighting
Lighting is undoubtedly one of the areas where home automation has demonstrated real utility, with connected light bulbs simple to implement and relatively affordable. The innovations are plethoric at CES 2018, but we chose to retain three.
Let's start with Nanoleaf Light Panels, small triangular or square wall-mounted luminous slabs that can be combined (up to 1,000 pieces) to cover a large area. Voice controllable (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant) or touch, they can change color, intensity and synchronize with the music.
As explained in the Blog of the DOMOTICS, Philips is leader in this segment:
The Philips lighting division, recently renamed Signify by Philips Lighting, will present these
innovations at this year's IFA show in Berlin from August 31st to September 5th.
Connected lamps designed for the home and that can be customized to make "the game and the music really immersive", up to a new range of Philips Hue Adore bathrooms, which includes seven white ambient lighting; all pre-set with four light recipes, called Energize, Concentrate, Relax and Read, to personalize your bathroom in one click.

Advantage vs risks
Indeed, as connected devices are using the Wi-Fi network and Internet, if your system has weaknesses
in security, an experienced person can take control and use your personal data (address, date of birth ...).
Hackers do not necessarily care about your privacy ... But it's better to be vigilant!
Today more than 15 million homes in the world are equipped with Domotics, for a new lifestyle, as the
the XX1st Century image is itself: connected!

REAL ESTATE : HOUSE SWAP, THE NEW IDEA TO TRAVEL FARTHER LONGER by nathalie molho Paris, France


Gigaro peninsula South of France
GIGARO Peninsula in South of France


If we had an higher budget for our holidays, how would we use it ? This simple question,
many of us (an overwhelming  majority) do not ask, and yet !
With an higher budget, many opportunities exist : to go farther, perhaps longer, and in any
case to discover more new horizons, and in a more original way or more , to combine the
organization of the holidays like Isabelle and Laurent , who explain that they have offered
additional circuits or additional vacation time.
How ? By practicing home SWAP
The charm of south gardens
The charm of south gardens

And all the subtlety is there: because as Parisians, for example, they have "swaped" their 
Parisian apartment with homes sometimes with pool, in any case very comfortable, well 
located in cities where they might never be gone, and that they have discovered simply via 
the offer of certain swap platforms, far (sometimes) beaten tracks or in any case more
 conventional "tours", commonly organized, or advised
The exchange of "home" can be done through different formulas of which  ELLE magazine
has recently echoed
About 40,000 French people exchange their homes each year, but this new way of travel requires a little anticipation, such as discovering those with whom you will be exchanging, finding a family member or a neighbor who will be attentive to any questions or practical problems, protect valuable property, write a contract and take specific insurance, and write a guide for future users
Saving money, Authenticity, Security and Freedom, are the advantages of housing exchange according to INTERVAC pioneer in France since 1953
Place DAUPHINE Paris France
Place Dauphine Paris France

But  innovations also appear in the field of home exchange, such as the "design" houses swaps with the specialized site behomm, (only for creative and design lovers) created by a couple of Spanish designers, their site counts already more than 3000 members, the most; it is accessed by co-optation or after being selected by the founders of the site, after filling in the details of his home
Do not miss reading their blog indicating the best tips for successful exchange:
Beside this newcomer already exist the best known: guest to guest, with more than 380,000 homes in 187 countries, founded in 2011 by two French, without any subscription fee, totally free

Rue Aubriot mansion frontage Paris IV
Rue AUBRIOT Mansion frontage Paris 


House swap, Anglo Saxon in origin, is also a pioneer, offering different services with options ranging from 130 to 430 €

finally the very chic love home swap, with more than 100,000 offers and 160 countries exists only for 6 years and offers a system of "swap points" to exchange without necessarily dates coincide

Swap Points



An attractive system with high potential that is seducing more and more followers; new links in an economy based on openness to others and willing to shared different values!

IMMOBILIER :EVOLUTION DES PRIX Enquête sur le marché de l''immobilier parisien 2018 by nathalie molho Paris France


Les tendances du marché immobilier parisien juin 2018



-La situation du marché immobilier à PARIS : Les Notaires de Paris-Ile-de-France ont diffusé les derniers chiffres du marché immobilier à Paris et dans la Région Ile-de-France, avec les perspectives d’évolution à juillet 2018. Au 1er trimestre 2018 l’activité sur le marché immobilier francilien s’est consolidée, alors que la hausse des prix est légèrement ralentie. 
On constate une petite accalmie du nombre de transactions à la fin du 1er trimestre par rapport à l’année record 2017 ( environ 1 Million de transactions )
Une demande qui reste très présente avec un maintien des taux bas, sur un marché très tendu (marché de pénurie) a pour conséquence un maintien voire une légère hausse des prix

Le prix moyen à Paris atteint tout de même 9.070 €/m² fin mars 2018, avec une augmentation de 7,3% sur un an et de 9,5% sur 5 ans , mais qui pourrait atteindre les 9300€/m²d’icifin juillet 2018  (source :http://www.paris.notaires.fr/actualites/immobilier-paris-et-en-ile-de-france-ou-va-le-marche )
Marché stable et sain, Paris reste une ville très attractive avec une hausse des prix régulière soit 36% en 10 ans selon le baromètre les ECHOS
Les paramètres vont rester les mêmes : les taux vont rester bas et représentent un incitatif
La confiance avec " l’effet Macron", les étrangers et les français sont là
On est dans une période de rattrapage par rapport aux volumes de de 2012 à 2015
-Quartiers les plus chers, quartiers les moins chers : quelle situation dans la Capitale ?
View overlooking place de la BASTILLE
View overlooking place de la BASTILLE



Les différences de prix restent importantes entre les arrondissements. De 12.240 €/m2 pour le 6e ou le 4e  à 7.350 €/m2 pour le 19e arrondissement. ci-dessous l'évolution des prix dans le 4e arrondissement sur 10 ans ( source Meilleurs Agents )
Sachant que des disparités fortes peuvent exister au sein d'un même arrondissement voir les exemples ci-dessous très parlants au sein du 4e   :

Pour les quartiers de la Capitale, les prix les plus élevés sont enregistrés à 14.490 euros/m² à Odéon (6e), à 13.740 euros/m² à Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6e) et à 13.640 euros/m² à Monnaie (6e).  Le quartier le moins cher est La Chapelle (18e), seul quartier parisien toujours sous la barre des 7.000 euros (à 6.660 euros/m²), suivi de La Goutte-d’Or (18e) à 7.150 euros/m² et de Pont-de-Flandres et Amérique (19e) tous deux à 7.180 euros/m². 


-PROFILS DES ACQUEREURS

En 2017, 84 % des acheteurs dans la capitale sont des cadres moyens ou supérieurs et des professions libérales, la catégorie employés ouvriers étant quasi exclue, avec une répartition par sexe équilibré : 51% sont des femmes et 49% des hommes
Les hommes qui ont acheté seuls sont davantage célibataires (71% le sont contre 62% des femmes). Tandis que les femmes achetant en solo sont davantage divorcées (21% contre 13% pour les hommes) ou veuves (5% contre 1%). Il semble donc qu’après un divorce les femmes achètent plus fréquemment un bien immobilier que les hommes.
 L’age médian étant de 36 ans pour les hommes et 40 pour les femmes
La part des investisseurs recule
Le rapport indique également que la majorité des emprunteurs en France sont ceux qui achètent leur premier logement, soit les primo-accédants.
Le marché s’appuie toujours sur deux piliers : des taux d’intérêt encore exceptionnellement attractifs pour les ménages et des facteurs fondamentaux qui nourrissent la confiance accordée à l’immobilier.


Le désir de devenir propriétaire, de constituer un capital sécurisé pour préparer sa retraite, le manque de placements alternatifs, les évolutions socio-démographiques, les difficultés à se loger et le faible taux de propriétaires en Ile-de-France stimulent encore la demande des ménages franciliens.

What are the Trends in Paris real estate market ? June 2018

-The situation of the real estate market in PARIS: The Notaries of Paris-Ile-de-France have released the latest figures of the real estate market in Paris and the Ile-de-France Region, with the outlook for July 2018. 1st quarter 2018 activity on the property market in the Paris region has consolidated, while price increases have slowed slightly.
There is a slight pause in the number of transactions at the end of the first quarter compared to the record year 2017 (about 1 Million transactions)
The volume of sales should remain high with a maintenance of low interest rates in a very tight market (shortage market) results in a maintenance or even a slight rise in prices.

The average price in Paris still reached 9.070 € / m² at the end of March 2018, with an
increase of 7.3% over one year and 9.5% over 5 years, but which could reach the 9 300€/M² 
in July 2018 
Où va le marche ?


Stable and healthy market, Paris remains a very attractive city with a regular price 
increase is 36% in 10 years according to the ECHOS barometer
(source https://recherche.lesechos.fr/recherche.php?exec=1&texte=immobilier )
 The parameters will stay the same: attractive interest rates which represent an incentive, 
as expected recovery in economic grow.Paris Property Group explains : some comentators have 
the election of Emmanuel Macron as a boost to the city's international image. The apointment of 
the country's first openly neoliberal president  has helped at a time when both the UK's place in the 
European financiel system  and its economic stability look increasingly uncertain because of ongoing
Brexit negociations"
Expansion of residential property market continued and new recirds of activity are continually
getting reached

Districts, cheapest neighborhoods: what situation in the capital?
 
Price differences remain significant between districts. From 12.240 € / m2 for the 6th to
 7.350 € / m2 for the 19th arrondissement.
below the evolution of prices in the 4th arrondissement over 10 years source MEILLEURS AGENTS

 For the districts of the Capital, the highest prices are recorded at 14,490 euros / m² in Odéon
 (6th), 13,740 euros / m² in Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th) and 13,640 euros / m² in Monnaie
 (6th). The cheapest neighborhood is La Chapelle (18th), the only Parisian district still under
 the 7,000 euros mark (at 6,660 euros / m²), followed by La Goutte-d'Or (18th) at 7,150 euros
 / m² and Pont- de-Flandres and America (19th) both at 7.180 euros / m².

Knowing that strong disparities can exist within the same district, see the following very
 telling examples in the 4th arrondissement:

 
-PROFILS OF THE BUYERS

In 2017, 84% of buyers in the capital are middle or senior managers and professions 
liberales, the category workers or employees being almost excluded with a balanced 
gender distribution 51% are women 49% men, men who bought alone are more likely 
to be single ( 71% versus 62% of women ) while women  buying solo are more *
divorced (21% against 13% for men) or widows (5% against 1%) It seems that after 
a divorce women buy a property more frequently than men . 
The median age is 36 for men and 40 for women
The report also indicates that the majority of buyers in France are those who buy their first 
home, ie first-time buyers.
The market is still based on two pillars: still exceptionally attractive interest rates for 
households and fundamental factors that fuel real estate confidence.
 
The desire to become a homeowner, to build a secure capital to prepare for retirement, 
the lack of alternative investments, sociodemographic developments, housing 
difficulties and the low rate of homeowners in Ile-de-France still stimulate the market
from households in Paris region.

Interview: Brice Payen auteur du livre "ils ont fait L’Ile Saint Louis" nous révèle ses secrets, propos recueillis par Nathalie Molho, Paris


 Nous avons rencontré Brice Payen, l’auteur du livre « Ils ont fait l’Ile Saint-Louis » Edition Dunod, qui nous dévoile les mystères de l’Ile Saint Louis, à travers les personnages illustres (Marie Curie, quai de Béthune, le Baron Alexis de Rédé, rue Saint Louis en l’Ile, Le Vau, Quai d’Anjou, Camille Claudel, Quai de Bourbon, Louis Aragon, Quai de Bourbon, Landru, etc …) et les personnalités contemporaines qui y ont habité ! Une vision unique de cette enclave mythique et symbolique de la richesse de l’histoire de la capitale.

Dans l'avant-propos, M. Patrick Mazery, éditeur de cette véritable « Bible » sur l’Ile Saint-Louis parle d'un témoignage du « murmure du passé » en effet, après une formation en Histoire, vous avez également travaillé dans la Communication, vous précisez d’ailleurs que le mot histoire signifie « enquête » en grec ancien c'est effectivement un travail de journaliste que vous avez mené, mais un journaliste qui a remonté les siècles !

-En effet, après une formation en histoire contemporaine à la Sorbonne, j’ai suivi une formation de journaliste, ce qui est intéressant dans les iles ce sont les influences multiples qui se mélangent, les différentes origines aussi de ceux qui les peuplent qui forment comme un condensé d’humanités. En bref, je suis sensible à l’atmosphère très particulière des iles
Votre démarche de faire découvrir l'histoire d'un quartier à travers l’intime et l’humain qui définit ses habitants tout au long des siècles, depuis 1604, en ce qui concerne l’Ile Saint-Louis, est très originale
-Nous avons déjà travaillé sur les Champs Elysées, avec une trame plus historique « Ils ont fait l’Ile Saint-Louis » se veut plus intime, décodant ses habitants comme des personnalités uniques et précieuses, aussi attachants que les lieux où ils se sont épanouis
HOTEL LAMBERT Copyright DR
HOTEL LAMBERT Copyright DR


L'éditeur Patrick Mazery, fondateur du restaurant : les FOUS DE l’ILE, (depuis 1983) était donc bien placé pour avoir envie de faire découvrir la magie et le charme de cette enclave dont l’histoire remonte à plus de quatre siècles
L’Ile Saint-Louis, fleuron du Marais en terme de prix au mètre carré (on avoisine parfois les 18 000€m² ) peut du même coup risquer de représenter un jour  une « coquille vide » dû à la fréquence des locations saisonnières
-C’est exact, avant nous avions un quartier ouvrier et artiste : une vie de quartier bien réelle, les locations courte durée ont modifié la donne et enlèvent parfois le côté « habité et vivant » de ces quartiers parisiens, heureusement quelques adresses de référence perdurent
LES GARDIL (BOUCHERS) photo Clément Vayssières
LES GARDIL (BOUCHERS) photo Clément Vayssières

Les commerçants, les artisans installés sur l’ile sont aussi importants que l'histoire de l’Ile, par exemple Berthillon, le célèbre glacier (présent depuis 1954 à la même adresse)  qui devient à lui tout seul une destination pour certains touristes ou parisiens se trouvant à proximité, en effet  on ne peut pas résister à l'appel d'une glace Berthillon ! il y a une très belle photo de la famille Bertillon dans les années 70, la recherche iconographique est formidable !Comment réussit-on à glaner autant de photos ou d’œuvres originales ?
-C’est un travail long et minutieux de recherche : la photo de la famille Berthillon vient de leur collection intime, le tableau représentant Henri IV et Marie de Médicis sauvé de la noyade se trouve dans la salle des fêtes de la mairie de Neuilly, encore actuellement !
D'ailleurs l’Ile Saint-Louis est très différente de sa sœur à l’Ile de la cité, où siège le palais de justice, Notre-Dame et l'hôpital Dieu, on apprend donc grâce à votre livre que l'île Saint-Louis a été créée en 1607 au début tout début du XVIIe siècle et que, entre autres, le jeu de paume qui était à l'époque aussi célèbre que le football aujourd'hui en France a été bâti sur l’Ile avant même l'église (Aujourd’hui le jeu de paume est devenu un hôtel)
Grâce à vous, nous apprenons que le Président Pompidou et son épouse ont vécu sur l’Ile mais ont également eu l’idée du Centre Georges POMPIDOU (Musée Beaubourg) dans leur appartement du quai de Béthune
-En effet, ce couple féru et collectionneur d’art moderne et contemporain, habitait l’ile, et nous avons imaginé une conversation avec leur grand ami galeriste : Aimé Maeght, c’est en devisant très vraisemblablement avec lui qu’ils ont eu l’idée de créer ce centre dédié à l’art contemporain, sur cette esplanade de Beaubourg qui était à l’époque un parking ( !)

Le livre se présente ainsi en six rubriques : histoire/ people/ culture/ intérieurs /insolite/ boutique comme vous le dites page 173 L’Ile abrite des gens classiques aussi bien que des « punks à particules »
Parlez-nous de cette ambiance « Village » que vous connaissez bien puisque vous avez vécu sur l’Ile, qui a tendance à se perdre
-Trois boulangeries, un fromager, un boucher, une librairie d'une agence de voyage, une école sont autant de repères, témoins qu’il y a une vraie vie de quartier sur l’Ile

Comment décririez-vous ce que l’Ile Saint-Louis a de si particulier ?
-On est dans la ville mais aussi dans un paysage, comme un tableau : la lumière, la vue sur Seine, comme un refuge, loin du bruit, de la fumée, un hommage aux gens qui y vivent, c’est une ambiance particulière, unique…

Interview with BRICE PAYEN, author of the book “ILS ONT FAIT L’ILE SAINT LOUIS"

Does Ile St. Louis still have secrets to reveal?
We met Brice Payen, the author of the book "They made the Ile Saint-Louis" Edition Dunod, which reveals the mysteries of the Ile Saint Louis, through the famous characters (Marie Curie, quai de Bethune, Baron Alexis de Rede, rue Saint Louis on the Island, Le Vau, Quai d'Anjou, Camille Claudel, Quai de Bourbon, Louis Aragon, Quai de Bourbon, Landru, etc ...) and the contemporary personalities who have lived there!
A unique vision of this mythical and symbolic enclave synonymous of the rich history of thecapital.
In the foreword, Mr. Patrick Mazery, publisher of this real "Bible" about Ile Saint-Louis speaks of a testimony of the "murmur of the past" indeed, after a training in history, you also worked in Communication, you also specify that the word history means "investigation" in ancient Greek it is actually a work of journalist that you led, but a journalist who went back centuries

-I am indeed a former Sorbonne student, which is interesting in the islands is the multiple influences which are mixed, the different origins of those who live in them which form as a condensed of humanities. In short, I am sensitive to the very particular atmosphere of the islands

Your approach to discover the history of a neighborhood through the intimate and human that defines its inhabitants throughout the centuries, here since 1604, as regards the Ile Saint-Louis, is very original

-We have already worked on the Champs Elysees thematic, with a more historical frame "They made the Ile Saint-Louis" is more intimate, decoding its inhabitants as unique and precious personalities, as endearing as the places where they were blooming The editor Patrick Mazery, founder of the restaurant: LES FOUS DE L'ILE, (since 1983) was therefore
The Ile Saint-Louis, flagship of the Marais real estate market in terms of price per square meter (we sometimes approach the 18 000 € m²) can at the same time risk representing one day an "empty shell" due to the frequency of seasonal rentals
-It is true, before we had a neighborhood of workers and artists and  a real village life,
now short-term rentals have changed the rules and sometimes remove the "inhabited
and alive" character of these Parisian neighborhoods, thankfully some addresses of
reference persist
The tradesmen, the craftsmen installed on the island are as important as the history of the Island, for example Berthillon, the famous glacier (present since 1954 with the same address) which becomes by itself a destination for some tourists or Parisians nearby,Indeed we cannot resist the call of a Berthillon ice cream! there is a very beautiful picture of the Bertillon family in the 70's, the iconographic research is great! How are we able to glean so many photos or original works?

-This is a long research: the picture of the Berthillon family for instance comes from their private collection, the painting of Henri IV and Marie de Medicis saved from drowning is in the City Hall of Neuilly, till now !
Moreover, Ile Saint-Louis is very different from its sister   Ile de la Cité, where the courthouse,Notre-Dame and the  hospital Dieu are located, so we learn from your book that the island Saint-Louis was created in 1607 at the very beginning of the 17th century and that, among other things, the game of palm that was at the time as famous as football today in France was built on the island before the church (Today the Jeu de Paume has become a hotel)
We also learn that President Pompidou and his wife lived on the Island but also had the idea of ​​the Center Georges POMPIDOU (Beaubourg Museum) in their apartment quai de Béthune

-Actually, this passionate couple and collector of modern and contemporary art, lived on the island, and we imagined a conversation with their great friend gallerist: Aimé Maeght, it is by very likely speaking with him that they had the idea of ​​creating this center dedicated to contemporary art, on this esplanade of Beaubourg which was at the time a parking (!)
The book is presented in six sections: history / people / culture / interiors / unusual / shop as you say page 173 The island is home to classic people as well as "punks with particles"
Tell us about this "Village" atmosphere that you know well since you lived on the Island, which tends to get lost
-Three bakeries, a cheese maker, a butcher, a bookstore of a travel agency, a school are all landmarks, witnesses that there is a real life of neighborhood on the Island

How would you describe what Ile Saint-Louis is so special about?
-It is in the city but also in a landscape, like a painting: the light, the view of the Seine, like a refuge, far from the noise, the smoke, a tribute to the people who live there, it is a special atmosphere , unique ...
