Spotter since 2017
My work is my best travel agency, I’m a color scientist, and since the early 2000s, I started to explore other countries and cities where my specialty brought me. Originally from Paris where I always like to go back, I lived in Oslo, Berlin (where I used to be a spotter as well), and now in Montreal since 2017. I’m finally working in the movie industry after joining the VFX studio DNEG at their Montreal office in the summer of 2022. I like to take pictures, to stay creative, and I’m always ready for city exploration on my bike or in my running shoes. If you like art galleries, music shops, and microbreweries, you may like my spots in Montreal.
What do I enjoy about Montreal?
Montreal has mainly two seasons, winter and summer, and I really like how the city flips upside down when the change occurs. It’s difficult to choose which moment I like better because I enjoy equally being able to go Nordic skiing when it's -15°C in the city at multiple locations or cycling along the St-Lawrence river during the summer. It’s very cliché, but the city rhythm is very chill, and if you manage to move from A to B without a car it can be a pretty relaxing place to live. Plus, you can buy fresh bagels 24/7!
Where else can you find me online?
"Léché Desserts" in Montreal hides many promises behind its pink benches and brick building! I recommend getting donuts here and going to watch the trains.

Zab Café is a coffee roaster from Montreal that has an interesting story, four locations, and good coffee. It's small and smells of good coffee.

The "Montreal Olympic Park" is so big, you can never tell how close to it you are. Its retro-futuristic vibe reminds me of some kind of animal; a scorpion?

"Belvédère Outremont" in Montreal is one of my favorite places to go jogging. It goes a bit uphill, but the view is just amazing, especially at sunset...
