Hi, I'm Philippe, a lover of life and all the wonders it has to offer. At 43, I've had the opportunity to travel to many places, but Saint-Florent in France has a special charm for me. I'm the kind of person who stops to smell the flowers, finds deep meaning in the murmur of the sea and discovers a story in every alleyway. One day, during one of my walks, I met an old fisherman in Saint-Florent who told me some fascinating stories about this town, and since then, every stone, every alleyway, every wave in this town tells me a story.
