How I landed in ACP

I was recruited :) I wanted to get involved and meet people, and the opportunity to be a member came up and I enthusiastically accepted!

What I do for a living

I'm head of marketing at ELLE France magazine

The trip that made the biggest impression on me ?

It's a difficult question. I've traveled to over 60 countries, and all my trips are memorable in their own way. I hesitate between Brazil and Palestine. Brazil, because I lived there on my own for 1 year when I was 17, and that alone is quite memorable. Palestine, for its people so welcoming, but also for all the things you see in these territories encircled by high barbed-wire concrete walls.

My favourite place in France or Canada

Once again, it's hard to choose. Paris and Provence in France. Gaspésie and Villeray in Canada.

My passions and / or my hidden talent ?

My greatest passion is undoubtedly travel. Gastronomy also.

What I learned in life

It's too short and uncertain not to make the most of it. 

My favourite bar-restaurant in France and Canada ?

I love BARAV in Paris, a perfect little natural wine bar! The buvette at Simone's on the plateau in Montreal!

My favourite ACP activity?

La galette, because it's an event that brings people together in the most beautiful room in the embassy!
