What is your motto ?

Carpe Diem, to find pleasure in everything at all times.

How did you come to do this job?

It's a kid's dream, I waited a little while to realise it! Now I try to convey my passion of sailing.

What people say about you?

People say I'm attentive.

To know about you, apart from your job?

Je suis passionnée de pêche et je serai ravi de partager cela avec ceux que ça intéresse !

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

Pas un souvenir mais des souvenirs : à chaque dauphin , chaque coucher ou lever de soleil sur Chausey et nos îles Anglo-normandes, des nuages, des cieux magiques et entraînant à la rêverie... un repas qui ravit le palais !

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

The ones where you forget what's back on land, and where you let go of your daily life and feel like you've been gone away a long time ...

Your style of practice?

A peaceful sailing approach, the goal is to arrive in the best possible conditions! A lifejacket is compulsory, security obliges it! (I am a member of Granville's 'Lifeboat' rescue team). On board, either I do everything or everyone can take part, it's up to the customer. But in any case, I explain the basics of sailing and the sea charts so you can get your bearings Food is planned in advance with the essential on board. As for the superfluous items customers can take bring on those if they want (like sweets for example!). For the cooking, I take care of everything, even though I wouldn't say no to a helping hand :) "
