Jean-Charles Charlet // initiated the project and founded Le Carré des Simples. He dreams is of a city entirely populated by trees and gardens and Cityculteurs.
Jean-Claude graduated from Essec and Stanford. He is an unusual entrepreneur, passionate about people as well as culture and fascinated by nature. Initially, he worked in publishing, and then moved on to publishing music online. He created Le Carré des Simples in 2003, based on the simple idea of a herbalist’s shop, but with a fresh and contemporary feel.
He has found a balance in his professional life today, combining business with teaching. A way for him to express his conviction that business, humanism and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive
