Other information PARIS AND NICE
She lives and trains in Paris but returns to her hometown of Nice at least once a month. "It's really important for me to always be connected to the club of my heart, OGC Nice. I regularly call my fencing masters there, and I try to come home at least once a month. It's good to keep in touch and, in a way, it cultivates my fencing style as well. In fact, it's a different vision of fencing [in Nice] - it's less academic, more based on instinct and feeling. It's less square, less conventional. But first and foremost it's about the pleasure of sport, which always takes precedence. In any case, that's what coach Jean-Noel [Ferrari] taught me from the start." (nicematin.com, 16 Nov 2020)
