Ilse PENOEY

Real estate agent in Cannes and surroundings
How long have you lived in France?

I have had “breaks” but since 1997. I have lived in other countries but basically since 2006 with a “getaway” in a capital of Southern Europe between 2017 and 2020.

Tell us something about you that no one knows.

As I have lived a lot abroad, the French often have a hard time guessing my “little accent” in French. They often think that I am more Nordic or that I am of Belgian origin (Dutch speaking).

What is your favourite place on the French Riviera ?

Since I am very attached to Italy and it’s kitchen, I love to spend time on the Italian border. I had missed it after the lockdowns.

If you could choose one place on the Côte d’Azur what would it be ?

There are so many place, as well on the coast as on the hinterland. I love Le Var, but after all, I think we are very lucky to live in Cannes because there is always something to do all the year long.

What do you like to do on your free time ?

During the summer I like to have a swim in St Jean Cap Ferrat and in the winter a dinner around a firaplce with friends.

How long have you worked as a broker at Wretman Estate ?

For not so long, but enough to understand that they are the best.
