This project was born from a realization: France, despite is colorful history and its renowned cuisine does not hold the key to the box of new and innovative ideas. In light of the problems that northern hemisphere is currently battling with, we have decided to draw inspire and new ideas from the south.
Frederic and Natalie a couple that complement each other as well as ‘wine and cheese’ have decided to spend at least one year in the southern half of the world discovering its cultures and ‘Savoir Faire’.
