MEETING WITH

Alexandra Fabiola et Monica

Your passion in life?

Monica: ‘I love travelling and discovering unusual places. I don’t necessarily look for the most touristy places, but rather places that will really help me discover the region.’

Fabiola: ‘I love walking along country lanes, in the forest, and if I happen to see a place that piques my curiosity, I can’t help but go there.’

Alexandra: ‘I’m passionate about reading, and in particular about Psychology books, especially those dedicated to self-development.’

Your favorite in the south of France?

Monica: “I immediately think of Monaco. I love the
landscapes and the local people. It’s really pretty.”

Fabiola: “Marseille, and especially the island of Frioul, which I love. If you’re lucky enough to see the night sky there, it’s an incredible sight.’

Alexandra: “The Verdouble waterfalls in the Minervois, not far from Perpignan.”
