Chloe lives several lives in one. She leads them all with passion and rigor. We love this life lesson, between day-to-day adaptation and new projects. Take a break to discover this personality of the valley, which already appears to be a great source of inspiration!

Multifaceted

My name is Chloé and I live in Marnaz, in the heart of the Arve valley, in the middle of the mountains. I have several professional activities: I manage a bed and breakfast, at home, in Marnaz. At the same time, I collect and process wild medicinal plants. I also manage the Ruche space, which is a coworking space, still in Marnaz.

A busy life

I am a ceramist by trade. I studied pottery. I settled in the heart of Marnaz, a city already known for ceramics. I did this business for several years. Then I changed paths, I worked in agriculture with my husband. I raised dairy goats, I made cheese that I sold in the markets. Subsequently, I decided to evolve further: I brought life back to the space that had hosted the pottery in the past. I created a bed and breakfast there.

Back to basics

I love nature and I have always been very close to it. I have always worked with the earth, between pottery and goats. Today, I met wild medicinal plants. I trained by transmitting knowledge on the endemic plants of our territory. I also had to have a laboratory to be able to work. With my mom and my sister, we decided to buy an old mansion in Marnaz. In this beautiful building, we have set up collaborative offices.

Mastery and wisdom

I like to be master of my life. This allows me to have total control of my schedule and to focus on the things that make me vibrate. It also allows me to take the time to grow what is deep inside me.

Carpe Diem

I don't project myself too much, I'm someone who likes to live rooted in the present to let things happen as they should. My project is to succeed in reconciling and mastering all these activities that I manage head-on.
