A few constant passions have led my life: the history of women, literature, music, culture, and travel around the world. Born and raised in Paris, France, in a family with links to England, the US, Japan and Mauritius Island, I developed an early passion for literature and history from various cultures and languages.  This passion culminated with a Ph.D. from the Sorbonne on women writers in Europe.

From then on, life became even more interesting: I moved to Los Angeles with my American musician husband, and taught at UCLA. I wrote, published, and edited books and encyclopedias, taught cultural life to Americans and American culture to French students. I then turned entrepreneur: I co-founded and managed a boutique communication firm focused on luxury and international culture.

Curiosity has brought me all over the world: Portugal, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Romania, Belgium, England, Austria, Germany, China, Japan, Thailand, Tunisia, Mauritius, Cuba  (I've certainly forgotten a few countries) and in many American states. I delight in discovering so many cultures, people, landscapes, music, literature... And there are still so many countries to discover and so many people to meet while I continue writing about cultural history in Europe and in the USA.
