How I landed in ACP When I lived in London, I was a member of the Canadian Women’s Club. So when I arrived in Paris, I started looking for a similar group and I immediately found the ACP. |

What I do for a living These days I am a biochemist researcher at the Institut Pasteur. In fact, I am retired. I contribute to research simply out of a desire for challenge and to contribute to the advancement of science. During my life, I was also a multimedia writer, novelist and event organizer. |
|
The trip that made the biggest impression on me ? Definitely Korea (Seoul). The perfect blend of Asian traditions and Western lifestyle. |
|
My favourite place in France or Canada Until proven otherwise, it remains Montparnasse for Paris and the Villeray district (where I grew up) in Montreal. But I reserve the right to change my mind as I discover others. |
|
My passions and / or my hidden talent ? I have no hidden talents … But I excel in multitasking, and as a teenager I was able to do my homework, watch TV, talk on the phone and eat at the same time. These days I rather do research coupled with tourism and housekeeping. I am also the archetype of the «morning person» - those irritating people who wake up naturally at 4 am, with the air of having already swallowed 14 coffees. It is a miracle that no one has yet tried to kill me… As for my passions, I have several, but above all, I simply love people. |
|
What I learned in life That I have no limits. Or rather, I do, but they're far away. I'm a go-getter by nature. As we say in Quebec, there's nothing stopping me. |
|
My favourite bar-restaurant in France and Canada ? In France, I haven't finished making the rounds yet, but for the moment Café Saint-Placide (rue de Rennes) is particularly appealing. In Montreal, l'Ile noire on St-Denis (and its vast whisky collection) is hard to beat. |
|
My favourite ACP activity? Brunch! I'm a foodie and I accept this. |
