Some know her from having seen her in the pizza restaurant “Joie”, 39, rue d’Espagne in Biarritz, which she runs with her partner André. A choice he made after many years in Paris, that of training in the theater and then acting in many plays such as “La Candidate” by Jean Franco and Guillaume Mélanie, directed by Raymond Aquaviva, or “Divina” by Jérôme Charrier, directed by Nicolas Briançon.
