Newsletter n°2 - mai 2010 du Village des Marques de Nailloux

Fabien Pelous, historic captain of Toulouse rugby team and of the French national team, holder of the French caps record (118), has now decided to take up a new challenge and open his first restaurant in the heart of the future Nailloux Outlet Village! Le 15 will be a brasserie with contemporary decor where rugby has the place of honour.

In Fabien Pelous' brasserie, everything is based on pleasure, longings and desire. A desire to create an atmosphere in line with his own values, a longing to move to the area in which he grew up, a wish to bring food to life through a modern brasserie menu where pleasures vary on a daily basis.
In the kitchen, chef Sébastien Pouil will rule the roost. His delicate touch will bring out the subtle flavours of seasonal products. A combination of inventiveness and refinement, these light dishes will be a delight for all palates.

Surrounded by all kinds of temptations lining the streets of the village, Fabien Pelous' brasserie should soon become THE place to recover from an intensive shopping session, and also be the unmissable new place to eat in this area.

On Wednesday 2 June 2010, one year to the day after its official opening, the first stone will be laid at Nailloux Outlet Village.

The following will attend the ceremony: Frédéric Fontaine, Managing Director of Corio France, Cyril Zaprilla, Development Director at Corio France, Martin Malvy, President of the Midi-Pyrenees Regional Council, Dominique Bur, Prefect of the Midi-Pyrenees Region and Franck Verschelle, Managing Director of Advantail.

This event will be a symbol not only of the success of the Outlet Village development, but also of Midi-Pyrenees Regional Council's commitment and support for innovative, modern projects that generate employment.

Advantail will have stand N° 4 I at Siec10, the commercial and retail property exhibition to be held at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris on 16 and 17 June.

How is the marketing of Nailloux Outlet Village progressing?

Marketing is progressing in line with our targets. To date, more than 40 brands have chosen to place their faith in us and open a store in Le Moulin de Nailloux.
Luxury international brands are particularly interested in our project. It offers them an excellent way of showcasing their products to French and foreign customers in an area that is very popular with tourists – more than 18 million visitors a year. In addition there is no competition at all here, and we have direct access and full visibility from the motorway.
Basically, Nailloux combines the three key factors for success, as well as having a customer catchment area of 1.2 million inhabitants less than 35 minutes away. This is why we are attracting the most discerning French and international brands.

And the construction work?

Construction is also progressing in leaps and bounds. The roofing structure at Le Moulin de Nailloux will be completed in October-November of this year and delivery of units in ‘shell' form is planned in 10 months' time.

With Advantail you can see the progress of the future Nailloux Outlet Village in real time using the webcam which has been installed on site. Set up and managed by the company, it can be accessed at www.moulindenailloux.com/webcam.

The high-resolution pictures are refreshed every hour. In this way everyone can see how work is going on a day-to-day basis – even at a distance.

Located between untouched areas such as the Aude and the Principality of Andorra, the Outlet Village is in a very special position.
The Aude area, just a few kilometres away, offers a great diversity of landscapes and activities: coast, mountains, famous inland areas and exceptional heritage including the absolute must - the village of Carcassonne. Only 40 minutes by car from the Outlet Village, Carcassonne, listed as UNESCO world heritage, welcomes more than 6 million visitors every year.

Further south, 125 km from Nailloux, lies the Principality of Andorra. The Principality is the largest skiing area in the Pyrenees and has a world-class shopping tradition. It attracts almost 12 million French and foreign tourists each year.

Most French tourists going to Andorra will pass Le Moulin de Nailloux. The Outlet Village will of course be able to take advantage of this passing trade – these ‘bargain hunters' – and will become an essential stopping place for people travelling to the south of France, Spain and Andorra.
