Where are you currently spending your time and who are you spending it with?
I’m very lucky because my parents have a nice little house by the sea in Brittany. So I spent two months watching the sea, swimming, walking around listening to the birds singing, living amongst nature’s silence.
How did your job as a model change during quarantine and how did you adapt?
Nothing changed, it just stopped. Everybody was lost, scared and powerless. I feel like something big is going to happen. To me, the coronavirus is just the first step of this big move that we’re going to live. And it’s kind of exciting.
How will your life be different after self-isolation?
Everything will be different. I discovered how to handle my faults and shortcomings, how to live one day at a time. I felt more free than ever despite the quarantine.
What have you discovered in quarantine that you recommend?
I didn’t watch lots of movies. I’ve been reading a lot instead. The book that has been a real discovery for me during these two months is
La porte Etroite written by André Gide. His writing is so powerful and intense. I’ve also reread my favorite book written by Rilke:
Lettres à un jeune poète. Reading has always been to me the most powerful tool for traveling without having to move: “To read is to travel, traveling is reading.” (Victor Hugo).
What’s the first thing you are going to do once things go back to normal?
Whatever the first thing I would do I want to be totally and fully aware of what I am doing, without thinking about what I would do next. From now on, I want to take the time, the time to live, to love, to sleep, to read, to work, to eat, etc…
