Inauguration of Scarab�e Event Centre


Purefrancenow had the pleasure of being invited to the 'Grand Opening' and Inauguration of Scarab�e on the 2nd December 2008, the region's new premier events centre for Business, Exhibitions, and Concerts. 5 years of political and conceptual development and construction, and over 19 million euros of
 investment, Scarabee is a demonstrable symbol of the future economic, social, and political dynamism of the Roannais region.

Esprit Roanne

L'esprit Urbain

New Roanne magazine -Stephane Archambault

Another excellent publication from St�phane Archambault and his editorial team! In our view, a local creative genius!

His new publication "L'esprit Urbain" focuses on Roanne, the main township in the Roannais, Rh�ne-Alpes.

It is the third of a series of magazines covering the beautiful Roannais region which Stephane has produced.


Exceptionally cleverly designed and conceived with superb, high quality images, which is his trademark.

"L'esprit Urbain" hit the streets of Roanne and the Roannais region this December.

Fruits de Mer at Restaurant de la Loire!

Something for which France has always been famous, even in a central region such as the Roannais in the Rh�ne-Alpes, is it's 'fruits de mer'.

Purefrancenow has to eagerly report on an extremely convivial event which Brian and Lucy Franklin experienced recently at one of the Roannais' most reputable local restaurants. Lucy Franklin tells the story:

Brian, myself , and our son, Ellis, were extremely lucky recently to be invited by Brigitte and Alain Rousseau as their guests at their beautiful Restaurant de la Loire for their annual and festive Soir�e at des Fruits de Mer.
