How I landed in ACP After In 2022, after 15 years of life in the Ile-de-France region and especially in Yvelin, I wanted to get as close as possible to the country where I grew up! And that's how, by chance, while browsing the Canadian consulate website, I was able to participate in the Terry Fox race in Paris and learn about the ACP!

What I do for a living I have been an lawyer (international business law) for more than 18 years and I advise private clients in the industry in particular |
The trip that made the biggest impression on me ? I grew up and studied in Canada (I was born in Romania) and came to France for love... My life is a continuous and very real journey... and over time I discovered other fantastic destinations that all marked me! Tied (the choice is hard!) it would be the island of Rhodes, with its old town and the ruins of the acropolis of Lindos dating from the second century BC, which is reached by climbing along a large staircase cut into the rock representing a trireme (warship)... and New York, the city that never sleeps, lives up to its reputation! |
My favourite place in France or Canada In France, I love walking in the Ibis park in Le Vésinet, where I live, as well as enjoying the sea spray of the Atlantic coast in Cabourg! In Canada, it would be the Yorkville district in Toronto as well as the Flowerpot Island in Tobermory! The scenery is absolutely spectacular! |
My passions and / or my hidden talent ? Rise to the challenges! |
What I learned in life That we have to live in the present moment because everything is only a passage. And most importantly: that our happiness depends only upon ourselves! |
My favourite bar-restaurant in France and Canada ? In Toronto, the Dimmi Bar & Trattoria in Yorkville. La Maison Fournaise on the island of the Impressionists in Chatou! |
My favourite ACP activity? Sunday brunches! We always meet wonderful people in a warm and typically Canadian atmosphere! |
