The Salon de soins et de bien-être itinérant : A place of well-being in priority neighborhoods and rural areas

For the past four years, in partnership with the L’Oréal Foundation, Banlieues Santé has coordinated the Salon de soins et de bien-être itinérant, which travels annually through priority neighborhoods and rural areas across various regions to offer moments of well-being to women in vulnerable situations.

As a mobile unit, the Salon de soins provides socio-aesthetic workshops focused on well-being for women supported by various social partners within the priority neighborhoods and rural areas it visits each year.

Led by professional socio-estheticians trained in social approaches to care, these one-hour workshops offer women a break from their daily lives, providing self-care moments that promote well-being, self-esteem, and confidence.

In 2023, 1,660 women benefited from an hour of care within the Salon itinérant, which traveled through the Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, as well as Belgium, over three months.

In 2024, the Salon itinérant will be back on tour starting in April and will go accross the Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions for six months.

A huge thanks to all our partners in each regions, who work daily with the women we welcome to on the Salon itinérant, and who collaborate with us each year to bring this project to life.
