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.
