After four years in New York, Margot moved back to France with her parents, her little sister Jasmine and her little brother Paul. They live west of Paris, not far from the city center and close to the green. Margot can see horses run in the fields from her bedroom window. Her mother, jewelry designer Mathilde de Turckheim Retif, is featured on Pirouette with her beautiful necklaces and headbands (See “hybrid jewels), June 9th 2010).
