Day 4
Before leaving La Gacilly I visited "Le Végétarium", which is Europe’s first museum devoted to plant life. The grounds looked like a whimsical water painting, a genuine indulgence for my senses. I was engulfed with an intoxicating floral aroma, which could have easily rivaled any fine French perfume.
It was time to return to Paris to visit the new Yves Rocher concept store. The brand is building a new identity along with a new logo. Over the next year they will be launching new concept beauty centers worldwide. The interior design uses materials and colours inspired by nature.
The new atelier is sectioned off into three areas: the botanical green house, which showcases cleansing products, cosmetics and perfumes; the botanical laboratory dedicated to the scientific approach to plants contains anti-ageing face creams, body soufflés and sun protection; and the botanical beauty spa. I had the opportunity to indulge in an ultra-pampering lavender facial. It was the cherry on top of an action-packed week.
My day ended with a dinner cruise that gently glided down the canal Seine. Through the glass canopy I took in the sights, ending with an illuminated Eiffel Tower. I went home with a whole new perception of Yves Rocher. The brand is dedicated to preserving the environment, understanding the plant world and making women feel beautiful.
