"We are proud to announce the launch of a new route between Rennes and the United Kingdom, two years after opening the London Gatwick-Rennes route,' Reginald Otten, Deputy Managing Director of easyJet for France said when the new Manchester flights were announced in November.
'As the leading carrier between the United Kingdom and France, the opening of this route between Rennes and Manchester particularly underlines our commitment to actively participating in the development of tourism between France and its international partners.'
Stephen Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at Manchester Airport, said in a statement: 'We are proud to connect people from across the North with the places they want to visit, so it's fantastic to see easyJet basing an additional aircraft at Manchester this summer and expanding its route network, offering passengers more choice than ever before.'

Copenhagen, São Paulo and Los Angeles: Veja continues its international expansion
Twenty years after its creation by the duo Sébastien Kopp and François-Ghislain Morillion, Veja, the French brand of sustainable sneakers, is accelerating the development of its international store network. The program includes three new strategic addresses: Copenhagen in Denmark, São Paulo in Brazil, and Los Angeles in the United States. On June 11, Veja opened a store in São Paulo, symbolizing its historic attachment to Brazil, where it sources its raw materials, such as organic cotton and Amazon rubber) and manufactures its products according to fair trade principles. Across the Atlantic, the brand has just inaugurated its first outlet on the West Coast of the United States, in Los Angeles, at 1108C Abbot Kinney Boulevard in the Venice district. The choice was not made by chance: "This mythical neighborhood is one of the few places in Los Angeles where people still walk," explained the brand. In addition to sneakers, the minimalist, mineral boutique, which has taken the place of a former dairy, houses a shoe-making workshop. In the near future, the brand will open its first boutique in the Scandinavia at 40B Pilestræde, on the corner of Svaertegade in central Copenhagen. It's a natural fit for Veja with a clientele attentive to environmental issues and clean design. In almost twenty years, Veja has established itself as one of the pioneering brands in the sustainable fashion sector. By 2023, it had passed the 200 million euro sales milestone, rising to 245 million euros by 2024. The company, still independent, is 100% owned by its two founders. Today, Veja distributes its products through almost 3,000 retailers worldwide, twice as many as five years ago. The breakdown of its sales in 2024 reflects the diversity of its sales channels: 70% wholesale, 20% e-commerce, and 10% via its dozen own boutiques. Last May, Veja enriched its product offering with the launch of a new model: its first sandal, christened "Etna". Inspired by the classics of the tropical wardrobe, this sandal is designed with a thick, light, and grippy Amazonian rubber sole, and an insole in EVA green, a flexible material derived from sugar cane. This launch, which is also marked by a collaboration with French brand Homecore, symbolizes Veja's ambition to diversify its offering while remaining true to its DNA.

LVMH: Michael Burke takes over as head of Americas region
Michael Burke is certainly the American executive most highly regarded by Bernard Arnault. The former head of Louis Vuitton joined the French luxury magnate's group in the 1980s. His appointment as president and CEO of LVMH Americas, effective July 7, brings the company full circle. This Bernard Arnault loyalist, who headed Louis Vuitton until 2023, is taking on this new challenge, as first revealed by the American industry trade daily, WWD. He will report directly to Stéphane Bianchi, the group's chief executive officer, while Anish Melwani, chief executive officer of LVMH Inc. and Davide Marcovitch, president of LVMH Latin America, will report to him, according to an internal memo seen by Above all, at a time when the geopolitical context is proving complex and relations between the United States and the European Union have become strained around the subject of customs duties, the arrival of Michael Burke, after a short-lived stint at the head of the Fashion Group in 2024, may deliver two strong messages. On the one hand, his return to the United States, 40 years after he began managing the group's investments across the Atlantic and then directing the activities of Dior and Louis Vuitton in this zone, is a message about the importance of this market, which represents no less than a quarter of the group's global sales, which reached 84.7 billion euros in 2024. Like his parallel appointment as non-executive chairman of the board of Tiffany & Co., it also signals Arnault's desire to exercise precise control over his American activities. The 67-year-old's arrival on the American jeweler's board is presented as "strategic support." In 2024, the brand, the largest acquisition in the group's history, experienced a number of upheavals, including a rebellion by some of its long-standing employees, followed by the departure of others. The arrival of the highly experienced American executive should also enable the company to deploy the potential expected by the group.

LVMH to sell Santa Barbara's El Encanto hotel for $82.2 million
French luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton SE is selling its only US hotel, the El Encanto in Santa Barbara, California. The 90-room property — in a coastal getaway northwest of Los Angeles — is being purchased by a partnership of brothers Justin and Tyler Mateen and Culver Capital, according to representatives for the buyers. The price is $82.2 million, they said. 'We look at it as we're buying 20% of the class A luxury hospitality market in Santa Barbara, which we believe is a growing market,' Tyler Mateen said in an interview Monday. The sale price per room — about $900,000 — is comparable to other recent resort transactions in coastal California, where strict government regulations and a scarcity of land create high barriers to entry, according to Alan Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group, a hotel brokerage based in Newport Beach. 'It may look expensive today, but 10 or 20 years from now it looks like a good deal,' Reay said. A spokesperson for LVMH declined to comment on the transaction but said LVMH-owned Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts plans to open a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, in 2028. The El Encanto's new owners say they plan to manage the property themselves, meaning it will no longer be part of the Belmond chain, a group of resorts that LVMH purchased in 2019. 'This property embodies the essence of California living and offers an experience like no other hotel on the Central Coast,' Garrett Cayton of Culver Capital, and the co-owner of The Discerning Travellers luxury travel agency, said in a statement. The Mateens have a growing portfolio of real estate and technology investments. Justin Mateen was a co-founder of the dating app Tinder. The brothers paid $69 million last month for a shopping center on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, and last year bought an office and retail complex on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for $211 million.
