About Laurie

Born in Ardèche, I have always been amazed by the richness of its nature, its fauna, its flora and its preserved landscapes. My journey took me to Lyon to study communication and business, before spending ten years between the Alps and Ardèche, while exploring the world to discover its wonders. Finally, it is in the South Ardèche, in the heart of my roots, that I chose to settle down.

My position at the Tourist Office allows me to combine my passion for this territory that I cherish and about which I am always learning more, my connection with tourism since the beginning of my career and my desire to raise awareness among visitors about the beauty and preservation of this unique environment.
