Paris, our community involvement

At O Chateau, we believe Global Warming is no fun. We do our part to protect the environment. We don't drive SUVs (we're too broke anyway) and only wash once a week to preserve water (no just kidding on that one). All of our electricity comes from renewable sources. That's not much, but it's our little contribution to save the world.

Since both Olivier Magny and Nicolas Paradis are die-hard rugby fanatics, (their accumulated head injuries do much to explain their present personalities) O Chateau naturally followed suit. We sponsor several Paris' local rugby teams!

Nicolas has a habit of creating rugby teams wherever he goes, and his stint at Essec University was no exception. It was on this same rugby team that Nicolas, the center, and Olivier, the flanker, met each other. Their teamwork on the rugby field for the Essec Rugby Team led to a partnership in the business that you know today as O Chateau. Thus, of course, O Chateau is one of the Essec team's sponsors. And since Nicolas couldn't leave those good old days behind, he created the GBG, the "Golden Boy Generation", an Essec alumni team. O Chateau is very proud to have been given its own personal (and clean) GBG jersey in thanks for its support!!

Bill Gates once said 'France is the worst country to make money in but the best one in which to spend it'. We're afraid this is a bit true. As young entrepreneurs, Nicolas and Olivier have joined the 100,000 Entrepreneurs initiative - a program to introduce French youth to small business, and to provide them with entrepreneurial mentors. Olivier regularly visits middle school classes and talks with the students about the trials, tribulations and (small) triumphs of starting his own business.

In the same vein, O Chateau also participates in the program Découverte des Entreprises, which allows middle school students to spend a week discovering the interworkings of a business...
