Experience

I’m a Frenchwoman who set off to explore North America with my partner in life. In 2019, I settled in Montréal and instantly fell head over heels for this stunning land. Truly, it was love at first sight.

What followed? With every encounter and every little adventure, the bond grew stronger, so much so that our daughter was born here. Since then, the seasons seem to pass faster (or is it just me?), and every day I share my passion for North America with those coming to discover it for themselves.

My Picks and Travel Tips

What is my favorite destination in the USA?

New York. The city’s energy is simply unmatched: every street has a story, every neighbourhood its own soul, and you always feel like you’re at the centre of the world. It’s a place you can never tire of.

A tip for your trip to the USA

Take time to wander off the beaten track. Behind the must-sees lie little gems, an eccentric food truck, a charming independent bookshop, a tucked-away rooftop or a local park where you get a real taste of everyday life.

What is my favorite season in the USA?

Autumn. The blazing colours, the golden light, the crisp air that makes walking a joy… for me, it’s the most magical time to explore.

What souvenir to bring back from the United States?

I love buying a newspaper or magazine dated from the trip. It’s such a lovely way to keep a slice of everyday life and, years later, to slip straight back into the atmosphere of that very day.

Don't forget to pack in your luggage:

A map! I have a soft spot for poring over tourist maps and bringing a little collection back home.

What is my dream trip?

A road trip through the great parks of the American West: sunrise over Monument Valley, the sculpted rocks of Bryce Canyon, the vastness of the Grand Canyon, and ending with a sunset at Yosemite. A mosaic of breathtaking landscapes I simply must plan one day.
