Profile of the month : Hélène Bajan

My first event with the ACP

On a trip to Russia, I met two Canadian ladies with whom I sympathized. When I returned to France, one of my friends introduced me to ACP. Working and traveling a lot professionally, I couldn't participate in a lot of activities but I renewed my membership every year. When we lived in Brussels and near the Canadian Embassy, I actively participated in the Canadian club in Brussels, and then since our definitive return to France to the ACP.

The job I do

Retired engineer.

My favorite place in France or Canada

I love the mountains perhaps because I took my first steps in the family chalet on the heights of Lake Annecy, my maternal grandfather being from Savoy.

My hidden talent

Intellectual curiosity. I love discovering anecdotes, stories and legends from the History of France and Paris. As a Parisian, I enjoy sharing my discoveries with my friends and visiting foreign guests.

What I have learned in life

Never refuse anything and always accept the opportunities available to you.
