Mae CHATELUS

Assistant at our office in Valbonne

How did you end up on the French Riviera?

I grew up between Bordeaux and the French Riviera, where I spent every summer around Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez. Moving here once I became an adult felt like a natural choice.

Tell us something about yourself: a little-known fact that not many people know.

I’m a black belt in karate! I was immersed in the world of martial arts and Japanese values from a very young age.

What’s your favourite walk or outing in the region?

An afternoon in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, combining a lovely walk along the waterfront with its great restaurants. It’s my favourite place to recharge and enjoy good food.

If you had to choose one place on the French Riviera, which would it be?

Saint-Tropez! Beyond its reputation, it holds a special place in my heart because I spent my childhood summers there. It’s somewhere I feel deeply connected to and always love coming back to.

What do you like to do on a day off?

Take my time! A bit of exercise, relaxing outdoors, walking in the forest or mountains, reading, visiting local markets… Anything that helps me clear my mind and enjoy being outside.

What did you do before joining Wretman?

I started working in the restaurant industry at the age of 16, and continued for nearly four years alongside my studies. As part of my work-study programmes, I worked for a property developer before joining a startup in the cosmetics industry.
