for one of its workshops, glass is tomorrow has collaborated with the saint-just glassworks, a company with an expertise that is unique in the world
located in the commune of saint-just-saint-rambert
this ‘living heritage company’ is the last of such factories in the country specializing in hand-blown glass for architectural applications
the company has developed a mastery in producing flat
colored glass panes to be used for the creation and restoration of stained glass windows (by matisse
the renovation of historical monuments (including the palace of versailles)
the unique methodology saint-just has honed over the years in crafting flat planes of artisanal glass actually begins from a hand-blown glass cylinder
three-dimensional objects are transformed into a two-dimensional materials for architectural applications
the process begins with a solid piece of tinted glass
placed in the furnace in the evening and heated to arrive at the correct temperature the next morning at 6 am
then collects the incandescent glass with a metal blowpipe
the glassblower creates a cylindrical shape with the heated material by blowing into the heavy tube while simultaneously swinging the blowpipe within a deep and narrow pit set into the floor of the factory
this swinging motion allows the glass to slowly and naturally stretch from a molten ball to a thin and delicate glass cylinder
the tubular shape is removed from the blowpipe
the shape is fed into a mechanical system that slices it along its length and reinserts it into an oven
where another craftsman tends to its reheating
the glass is refired to remove the tensions created by its cooling and to prevent its breaking
the glass plates are squared off in a rectangular format and ready for use

AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function
but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style
Roglič neutralises attacks to take race lead as Van Aert dropped early on mountainous stage
It was the American's third victory of 2022 and his first at WorldTour level
After his overall challenge was ruined by a crash on the wind-buffeted second stage
McNulty's lone effort in the Ardéche put an altogether different slant on his Paris-Nice
"I was debating even continuing on or just resetting
so from considering not even starting today
who came home almost two minutes clear of chasers Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Matteo Jorgensen (Movistar)
The Col de la Mure also proved pivotal in the race for the general classification, as yellow jersey Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) was dropped on its slopes. His teammate Primož Roglič was thus left surprisingly isolated in the finale
but the Slovenian withstood the accelerations of his direct rivals to move into the overall lead
39 seconds clear of Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco)
Jumbo-Visma had hitherto looked untouchable
but they showed surprising vulnerability here considering their collective exhibitions in the opening half of the race
By the upper reaches of the category 1 Col de la Mure
Roglič had only Rohan Dennis for company in a severely reduced peloton
and the Australian underscored his value by leading over the top of the climb
Roglič was left to his own devices on the unclassified climb to Saint-Vincent-de-Durfort in the finale
but taking care to track accelerations from Simon Yates and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe)
Roglič's rivals may come to rue their inability to exploit his solitude here
and the men at the upper reaches of the general classification all crossed the finish line together
he has in mind some other plans and other goals and trying to be ready for that," Roglič said of Van Aert's struggles
The guys did a really great job pulling all day
so that I could be at the end with the best ones."
though it remains to be seen if weather conditions will allow for the planned summit finish atop the Col de Turini
Roglič remains the favourite for overall victory
I can also say that I have some experience from the last year
there is a lot of racing coming up and I will do my best
The peloton was decidedly smaller at the start of stage 5 in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert
with no fewer than 18 riders – among them
Yves Lampaert and Zdenek Stybar (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) – withdrawing overnight as flu swept through the peloton
Four more riders would abandon on an attritional stage as Paris-Nice finally hit the hills after a flat opening half
a climb redolent of the Tour de France's many visits to Saint-Étienne
and the day's break was already clear of the bunch by its early slopes
McNulty was joined by nine others in the move: Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar)
Michael Mørkøv (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl Owain Doull (EF Education-EasyPost)
Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) and Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM)
they had almost 6 minutes in hand on the peloton
and they would maintain that buffer for most of the day
as the race crossed into the Ardèche and crossed the Côte de Saint-Jeure-d'Ay
Côte de Saint-Romain-de-Lerps and Côte de Toulard
where Madouas did enough to secure the king of the mountains jersey
Jumbo-Visma controlled the peloton on those early climbs
and they seemed content to allow the escapees some leeway
McNulty et al still had over 6 minutes in hand
and it was already clear that the stage winner would come from their number
McNulty briefly dropped to the rear of the break and Madouas cast a glance over his shoulder
seemingly surprised that the American was struggling
McNulty was simply depositing his arm warmers with his team car
he accelerated from the back of the group to the front and then disappeared around the next bend
but it was already clear that McNulty would not be seen again
Jumbo-Visma's yellow-and-black jerseys began to drop away from the front as Arkea-Samsic took up the reins
and when the maillot jaune Van Aert sat up
Roglič suddenly only had Dennis for company
set a steady tempo once Arkea-Samsic desisted
and bunch relented sufficiently to allow the enterprising Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) clip off the front alone
The Frenchman had almost a minute in hand over the summit
but he would eventually be caught on the run-in
was a minute clear of the remnants of the break at the top of the Mure with 33km remaining
and he would double that advantage by the finish
making light work of both a technical descent and the climb to Saint-Vincent-de-Durfort
he could already savour victory on roads familiar from his recent Faun-Ardèche Classic victory
"It was kind of put everything in for today
I got in the break and then actually felt super good all day," McNulty said
Daniel Martinez (Ineos) tested the waters with an attack on the last unclassified climb
while Roglič preferred to mark Simon Yates and Vlasov's accelerations
before unleashing a testing one of his own with 10km to go
That effectively marked the end of the attacking
as Martinez and the earlier attacker Martin were brought to heel and the remaining GC contenders rode to the finish together
Jumbo-Visma's aura of invincibility may have diminished
but Roglič's lead over his rivals is unchanged and the yellow jersey is on his shoulders

France – Constantly market-driven and always seeking to innovate in the tableting sector
Eurotab is now setting its sights on the coffee world
divided up into three main categories in terms of consumption (ground coffee
The company has just finished developing a new patented instant coffee tablet that is currently being intro-duced to the market’s principal brands
After having joint-developed a roast and ground coffee tablet in the form of a 7 gram coffee bean (1 tablet for 1 cup of cof-fee) with one of the market leaders in 2009
EUROTAB is now offering an instant coffee tablet version
EUROTAB wants to meet increasing needs in the instant coffee market
The instant coffee market is in fact booming** and is worth around 30 billion dollars which translates to approximately 22% of all cups of coffee consumed around the world
Emerging markets should represent 50% of all coffee consumption worldwide by 2020 and are responsible
for the increase in demand for instant coffee
The main driving forces behind this growth are increases in revenue and the rise of the middle class
pre-miumisation of the category and the emergence of a café culture in these key countries
Changes in consumer trends are also favouring coffee consumption on the go
meaning that it must be easy to use and require no special equipment (all that is needed is a cup and hot water)
precise dosage is also important as is the availability of flavoured coffee that can be drunk with or without milk
The new instant coffee tablet is a convenient way to take your favourite coffee away with you in your pocket or handbag
great for those who want good coffee anywhere and at any time of day
these new tablets are made from instant coffee using a process proprietary to EUROTAB which preserves the great coffee taste
Tablets come in a portable individual pack or in a family size pack and are available in regular or decaffeinated versions for short or long drinks
An organic variant with brown sugar is also available
In keeping with the current trends in coffee shop consumption
there are also flavourings such as hazelnut
A simple way to enjoy great coffee at home or away from home
EUROTAB has put its expertise and leading edge technology in tableting at the forefront of development to produce this new product
EUROTAB’s know-how has enabled it to turn concept into a reality
with high added value and in accordance with market trends
The challenge faced by the brand of producing a compact and solid
yet quick dissolving and easy to use product has been overcome
its flexible format means that manufacturers can be inventive when it comes to the shape and packaging (individual
A pilot line is currently in place to ensure flexible
enabling the company to carry out consumer tests for future customers in real operating conditions
EUROTAB is showing that tableting has major advantages that meet the challenges laid down by sustainable development
environmental and societal added value to consumers and manufacturers alike
One can therefore say that this is an environmentally-friendly concept
The instant coffee presented here thanks to this shaping process shows very high energy performance and its carbon footprint is minimal
savings can be made for consumers in terms of waste (vs pods
jars of instant coffee etc.) and for manufacturers and retailers in terms of packaging and volume of goods transported and stored
environmental safety and shelf stocking etc
EUROTAB is an independent SME specialised in the conception and technology of powder compression: the tablet
EUROTAB aims to make the tablet a real concept in sustainable development
a creator of added value for its users and all sectors involved
*The term instant coffee covers « spray-dried » coffee powder and freeze-dried and liquid coffee such as liquid concentrates **Sources OIC 2014

the later section featured several bumps before two and a half 12km laps around Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert
Nicolas Edet (Cofidis) and Brice Feillu (Fortuneo-Samsic) fancied hanging themselves out front
Going off early on the opening climb of the Col de Leyrisse
they benefited from the peloton waiting-up for several struggling sprinters
Building a maximum advantage of almost six minutes the chase was initially lead by Vital Concept
It gained impetus with both Quick-Step Floors and AG2R La Mondiale helping close the gap
A crash at 18km to go saw several riders crash and Trek-Segafredo’s Kiel Reijnen leaving the race
The catch came at 12.4 km and just as the final lap began
]After 2,836m of climbing run off with a high average speed many of the teams were looking frayed
Lotto-Soudal and Mitchelton-Scott made efforts to marshall the pack
At 10 km another crash put paid to Axel Domont’s (AG2R La Mondial) day
Team Sky looked to keep Kwiatkowski safe and in the lead with Tao Geoghegan Hart riding on the front
BMC Racing’s Dylan Teuns tried to break away with 4km to go
only to be closed down by Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) and Kwiatkowski
With the bunch now reduced to around 30 riders
a Classics-style finish appeared on the cards
Swinging onto the final 400metre climb Impey went early
Alaphilippe was closest with Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) the best of the pure sprinters in third
the lack of time differences means Kwiatkowski retains the overall lead

American was 'in a hole' after time trial but rallied to first WorldTour win
After starting the year with a victory in the Trofeo Calvia and following it up with winning the Faun-Ardèche Classic
McNulty was the GC leader for his team in Paris-Nice
But the 23-year-old American had a crash and lost touch with the lead group when QuickStep-AlphaVinyl shattered the peloton in the crosswinds on stage 2
Stage 3 went even worse as McNulty was dropped on the Côte de le Peyroux and ended up losing 11:15
So to bounce back and win the first WorldTour stage of his young career was a big surprise for the Arizona native
It still hasn't even sunk in yet but I'm so happy
It's my first WorldTour victory but also under the circumstance
I had a crash and just haven't been good," McNulty said
The stage from Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert to Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut covered some of the same roads as his win in Ardèche last month and perhaps provided some extra inspiration for going on the attack
McNulty was part of the early breakaway with nine other riders
including fellow American Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar)
he was no threat to the race lead taken by Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma)
The breakaway had more than six minutes on the chasers when McNulty attacked on the Col de la Mure with 40km to go
I got in the break and then actually felt super good all day
I was on the radio on the second last climb and they said
'this is the climb to do it so if you have the legs
McNulty had just under two minutes on his nearest rivals - with Jorgenson being out-sprinted by Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels)
so he had plenty of time to celebrate and let the success sink in
"It's been a nice start just to have a couple of victories
so to get this WorldTour victory is special."

80th edition of 'Race to Sun' also features exposed early stages and 13.4km time trial
The 2022 edition of Paris-Nice will include a mountain finish atop the 14.9km Col du Turini
a rolling 13.4km time trial in central France
with the Col d'Eze offering a launchpad for final attacks before the descent to the finish on the Promenade des Anglais
The route of the eight-day race was presented in Versailles
where the ‘Race to the Sun’ will start on Sunday March 6
with the 80th edition of the race including more climbing than usual in the second half of the route
the race route heads south from the French capital via Orléans
and the eastern edge of the Massif Central to Aubagne on the Mediterranean coast near Marseille before the final two stages around the hills behind Nice.
The opening three stages appear to suit the sprinters and Classics riders but the risk of crosswinds on the exposed roads of the Beauce could shake-up the overall classification
The 13.4km stage 4 time trial is between Domérat and Montluçon - the birthplace of Julian Alaphilippe
It is on rolling country roads with a steep 700m kick-up to the finish line adding an extra twist and perhaps a chance for the double world champion
The 188.8km fifth stage from Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert to Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut near Saint-Étienne is packed with small climbs
as is the long haul to the coast on stage 6 between Courthézon and Aubagne.
Stage 7 from Nice to the Col de Turini is only 155.4km long but heads deep into the Alpes-Maritimes and is rightly considered the Queen Stage of the 80th edition of Paris-Nice
The climb to the finish is 14.9km long at a gradient of 7.3 per cent
It is well known for riders who live in southern France and proved decisive in the 2019 edition of Paris-Nice when Dani Martínez won the stage and Egan Bernal secured overall victory
It was Bernal's first European stage race win and he went on to win the Tour de France a few months later.
The final stage should return to the Promenade des Anglais after two years of COVID-19 disruption
The 115km stage is packed with six categorised climbs
with the Côte-de-Berre-les-Alpes added to the mix.
The Col d'Eze once hosted a final time trial or a hilltop finish but now offers a final chance to attack and shake-up the overall classification
Maximilian Schachmann won Paris-Nice for the second year in a row in 2021 after Primož Roglič crashed during the final hilly stage and lost three minutes.
Race organisers ASO confirmed the automatic invitation of the 18 WorldTour teams
plus Alpecin-Fenix and Arkéa-Samsic as the best ranked ProTeams
B&B Hotels-KTM and Peter Sagan’s TotalEnergies team were awarded the two wildcard invitations.
Paris-Nice race director François Lemarchand told L’Equipe that Roglic and Bernal will be back at Paris-Nice this year
He was confident Paris-Nice would go ahead despite the COVID-19 pandemic
The last two editions of Paris-Nice were affected by the pandemic
with final stages cut or changed to avoid central Nice
“The pandemic is likely to affect us for the third year in a row
If we have to organise Paris-Nice under the same conditions as last year
“I hope all the same that we will not have to set up limitations that are penalizing for spectators
Meetings with the prefectures will start next week."

torn to shreds and watching Max Schachmann disappear up the road with what would have been his victory.
Jumbo-Visma appear intent on making sure Roglič will be on that top step of the podium in Nice and who is left to challenge them
His stunning performance saw him move into the leader's jersey and win the stage by two seconds on Roglič with new teammate and former time trial world champion Rohan Dennis in third
Although the time trial was just 13.4 kilometres
it was enough to put a big dent in the overall hopes of riders like Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious)
Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) gave up 1:15 to Roglič and Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) lost 1:17.
Other GC hopefuls like Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates)
David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) had already lost enough time to be out of contention between the forcing of QuickStep-AlphaVinyl in the crosswinds on Tuesday and the blistering pace of Wednesday's lumpy finale
Still in contention is Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco)
TotalEnergies' Pierre Latour also had a good day at 19 seconds down on Van Aert
Yates is 39 seconds down on Roglič in the standings thanks to Jumbo-Visma's opening day romp
Yates' twin brother Adam (Ineos Grenadiers) gave up 43 seconds and has a bit more ground to make up at 1:21 behind on GC
while Quintana has nearly two minutes to make up on Roglič
Van Aert will most likely give up that yellow jersey to Roglič as the mountains become higher and more frequent
With the chance of bad weather shortening Saturday's queen stage
Thursday's stage from Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert to Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut becomes much more important
The 188.8km stage 5 has five classified climbs
comes too early in the stage to make a big difference
while the Côte de Saint-Romain-de-Lerps in the second half is steeper (6.5km at 7.3 per cent) but perhaps too early for a launching pad with 75km to go.
It will undoubtedly be on the Col de la Mûre where the gloves will come off
this category 1 kicks up stiffly and hardly relents for 7.6km
and the downhill run-in is interrupted by an uncategorized climb and bonus sprint before the flat finish
It could well be the only opportunity to make up time on the Jumbo-Visma leaders
Forecasts for Saturday call for snow falling at altitudes 400 metres below the summit of the Col de Turini and although the ASO have not announced any changes to the route
a last-minute shortening of the stage will deprive the GC contenders a chance to challenge Jumbo-Visma
it could be similar to the 2019 Paris-Nice
where Egan Bernal secured his first European victory at the 2019 Paris-Nice
a 38-rider breakaway dominated the stage to the Col de Turini but at 14.9km long and an average of 7.3 per cent the finish is one for the pure climbers
Quintana battled with Bernal on the climb and could not get away
In the subsequent stage over the Col d'Eze
but still finished second at 39 seconds - almost exactly what he lost in the time trial
the position of natural climbers after the time trial is key to their chances in Paris-Nice
With Roglič already looking unshakeable when the road tilts upward
it would take another stroke of bad luck or an exceptional day by Yates or Latour to unseat him
The odd chance that a team like Bora-Hansgrohe could break Jumbo-Visma's stranglehold on the race and put their leader Aleksandr Vlasov into yellow looks highly unlikely given the team has already swept two stage podiums
organised and motivated to deliver Roglič (or maybe even Van Aert) to victory
The chance of bad weather and the possibility the Col de Turini stage could be shortened would only make it harder for anyone to beat Roglić

a former studio director in the ateliers of Yves Saint Laurent and Dior Haute Couture
Rigaud played in the palace garden as a child

Rigaud has expertly tracked down not just exquisite orchids and winter roses but ornate glass vases by Guaxs
needlepoint sofas from the Belgian husband-and-wife team Du Long et du Lé
and a selection of vintage furniture culled from local markets
It’s a carefully curated arrangement intended to feel as welcoming as it is decadent. “Instead of opening just another flower store, I thought about what I would like as a customer,” says Rigaud, who often entertains at the apartment he shares with partner Peter Copping, creative director of Nina Ricci. “Why not mix in antiques and have some music on in the background, so it’s more like a home?”
