A place you saw when you were a child, and that made its mark on you? All my children holidays in a French region called “les Cévennes” with my cousins. It was quite wild and nature was very powerful. We were always playing on rocks and we went swimming in a small river. There was nobody and we could create our own world. It was a real communion with nature.

What are your main current concerns ? I work on a made in France clothing brand so it’s very important for me that people stop buying items from children’s work or underpaid people.

Something that made you laugh out loudly recently? Mina learns to read and write at school since September and she loves to write in a small notebook at home.
