Why are you running for mayor of the village?<\/strong><\/p>\n\nAfter months of reflection, I felt the desire to unite the residents of Lourmarin, to dedicate my energy to the village, and to build a project together. My experience as a parliamentary assistant (of Julien Aubert, then LR Member of Parliament, Ed. note)<\/em> allowed me to understand the mechanisms and constraints of a local authority. As an entrepreneur, I learned to do a lot with little, to find solutions, to innovate, and to progress despite difficulties. <\/p>\n\nThere is also my personal story. Faced with challenges, I learned resilience. I deeply believe that difficulties should not divide us, but rather unite us around common sense and solidarity. By running as a candidate, I am not seeking revenge. On the contrary, I feel at peace. Every encounter, every experience helps us grow, and perhaps that is one of life’s beauties. <\/p>\n\n
What is your perception of Lourmarin today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\nI have had the opportunity to live in several cities, both in France and abroad, for my studies and projects. But the place where I truly feel at home is here, in Lourmarin. I grew up there…” <\/p>\n\n
