According to the Banque de France, inflation would amount to 5.4% on average for the year 2023. Its peak should occur in June. In this difficult context, many consumers are giving up certain expenses. As an Elabe survey for BFMTV reports, 85% of households say they are “tightening their belts”. Nearly three out of four French people believe that their purchasing power has fallen sharply.
Households then decide to make sacrifices and the expenditure items concerned are those allocated to leisure. 51% of French people say they avoid shopping and going out, nearly 19 points more than a year ago. 48% give up going on vacation or weekends. So how do you have fun without threatening your finances?
To train their students in practical trades, schools and institutes look all year round for models so that they can practice in real conditions. Accompanied by a teacher, students in aesthetics, hairdressing or even massage can improve their technical skills. The exchanges with their first customers also allow them to work on their interpersonal skills.
In return, customers, improvised “guinea pigs”, benefit from professional services at low prices, sometimes even free of charge. Discover in the slideshow below the list of schools where students offer free or reduced-price sessions throughout France.
