What is the first thing you look at when you arrive at the hotel?
When I arrive in a hotel, first of all, I’m sensitive to the atmosphere of the place, the smell, the color and the matter.
What is your favorite destination to combine leisure and culture?
My favorite destination is St Barth, my natural medication. I try to go there every 2 months.
What are your favorite addresses in St Barth?
My favorite addresses in St Barth are:
▪ Hotel Baie des Anges, on Flamands beach
▪ Lunch at the very new restaurant “Rivage”, at Grand Cul de Sac, designed by my faithful friend Olivier Lempereur.
▪ Play backgammon on the Gipsy beach, St Jean
▪ One of the best Italian restaurants, L’Isola, in Gustavia
▪ Grain de sel, typical local and honest restaurant
