About This French-Aussie Journey

From Annecy to the Central Coast

Born in the beautiful town of Annecy, France, I now call Australia's Central Coast home. After eight years in Sydney and a two-year stint in Perth, we found our perfect balance—stunning beaches, genuine community, and the space for our family to thrive.

What "French Twist" Actually Means

It's about sharing authentic perspectives on parenting, lifestyle, and business through the lens of French culture while embracing Australian life. Think French approach to work-life balance, different perspectives on raising confident kids, and discovering how two cultures can beautifully complement each other.
