Скачать или смотреть LePresage: Solar restaurant with 400 days of sun a year to open June 2024!

Pierre-André Aubert recounts the history leading up to the imminent grand opening of Le Presage (the Omen) in Marseille, France. Huge lessons for our community, such as patience in working through regulatory hoops and how best to cook with sunlight.

Clement Flint starts us off with a tour of the Scheffler reflector and quick peek inside the converted shipping container. Pierre-André then talks of the years of planning, crowd-funding, and design of a permanent restaurant. Sunplicity creator Alain Bivas joins us for a view of the plot last July, with plans posted on the construction fence, and more closeups of the Scheffler and Solar Brother's SunChef Pro, a large borosilicate glass tube oven. **Note: Solar Brother's team corrected me on this, it is not a vacuum tube. They found vacuum tubes were difficult to control the evenness of the cooking heat, but that a well-sealed up heat trap worked well.**
