Parisian by birth, Louise Monot loves Paris and the life she leads there. “I feel good there and the climate doesn’t affect my mood. But it’s a family debate. My darling who is from the South would like to leave Paris. This is not on the agenda for me. If I leave Paris, it will be on an instinct, when I think it’s the right time. Do you think I would be more zen in the sun? »
