In Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), Thibault Saint-Olive transforms old sailboats into camping bungalows. Journalist Valérie Heurtel went to meet him.

Thibault Saint-Olive’s idea for France “is to recover old sailboats, renovate them, transform them and give them a new life in the long term“. These boats were destined for scrapping. But on a small shipyard near Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), Thibault and his team brought them back to life and transformed them into bungalows. It takes 25,000 euros to adapt the boats. In a Noirmoutier campsite (Vendée), these somewhat special bungalows will soon welcome the first tourists.Count around 80 euros per night for this stationary cruise.

Fight against waste

Live from Sables-d’Olonne (Vendée), journalist Valérie Heurtel presents an initiative to limit waste. She evokes the case of Françoise, a retiree, who every day “tour the shops” And “collects unsold fruits, vegetables, fresh produce“.”She sets up tables in front of her garage and distributes baskets to those who need them. […] It helps hundreds of families. As much to tell you that with the prices which blaze it makes happy”says the journalist.
