I also love good blues/ soul music, all great motown music! and great French music from Gainsbourg, Benjamin Biolay... Nina Simone, Feeling Good and I want a little sugar in my bowl, etc...

My Interests
I love Art, especially painting. Going regularly to opening art exhibitions. Crazy about cinema ( Woody Allen, Almodovar, Scorcese, Ken Loach, James Gray.... and a lot of other great French movie makers... ) I swim a lot, many times a week. Water has such a soothing power on the mind and body and I do Yoga. I started learning piano this year.
