Ideal for all lovers of nature, the brand has many celebrities, beginners or confirmed. A reference in terms of relaxation and well-being, this boutique puts us in the atmosphere barely the threshold, thanks to its music and its relaxing smells… We are quickly transported into a world of discoveries and nature, and we move towards incense and other candles. Then, by strolling in the store, you stop in front of the music and bookshop radius (advice on gardening, information on astronomy, massage practices…), but also the walking radius with compasses, dynamo lamps, GPS, binoculars, hats… Not to mention barometers and various objects linked to weather.
