I was fulfilled in this daily life in the middle of nature, far from the noises of the world. […] Suddenly coming back to Paris and finding myself confined to an apartment was at first very violent. Then I read all the books that I hadn’t had time to open, I sorted, cleaned, in my head as in my interior. had to go back to basics, separate myself from a lot of things, it was very painful, complicated, but it did me a world of good“, she confided to Gala this July 1, 2021.
