    Description

    Good morning. I am Sylvie and I am a photographer. 3 years ago, I returned to France from the US where I worked for many years.
    I bought my house in Occitane, the land of wine and sun. Here in the south of France there is a mixture of culture, of people from all over the world, which immediately attracted me a lot.
    As a photographer, I fell in love with the small villages around with their characters and colors. The sunsets over the Mediterranean are spectacular. There is the mountain, the sea, the wine and the local culture that constantly mix.

    Bonjour. Je suis Sylvie et je suis photographe. Il y a 3 ans ,Je suis revenue en France des US ou j'ai travaillé de nombreuse années.
    J'ai acheté ma maison en Occitane, le pays du vin et du soleil. Ici dans le sud de la France il y a un mélange de culture, de gens de partout qui m'a beaucoup attiré tout de suite .
    En tant que photographe , je suis tombé amoureuse des petits villages des alentours avec leurs caractères et leur couleurs. Les couchés de soleil sur la Méditerranée sont spectaculaire . Il y a la montagne, la mer, le vin et la culture locale qui ce mélange constamment .
