How did you initially come up with the idea or concept for the business?

Our owner, Frederic Briest, had to endure a very long journey by plane through South America, having layovers in the most remote cities. Then he realized that as easy as it was for a traveler to buy cigarettes and alcohol, finding a place to relax and unwind in an airport was almost impossible.

Be Relax was born from the simple idea: to make your journey more pleasant by creating a place to relax and pamper yourself before taking off.
