Nathan is a very joyful and communicative boy with a passion for animals; he talks about them to every person he meets! Carla-Rose, as joyful as her brother, is articulate as well as being a true artist. She is also very compassionate : she loves to help the people and the family, and she goes by “p’tite Mademoiselle”. Mother of the two, Genevieve Gagnon is Screenwriter for The Lovaganza Convoy motion picture trilogy, Co-founder of Lovaganza 2015 and the Lovaganza Foundation. This happy family lives by the sea, sharing its time between California and South of France. Such luck!
