Communications manager Élodie Gagnepain has worked in the arts and new technologies sectors for clients such as the Cannes Festival and the Cité de la Musique in Parc de la Villette, Paris, and now specialises in business tourism and crafts. She is the founder of Tintinabulle, an agency that promotes quality local crafts and businesses. She is enthralled by good products and the skilled professionals who make them, and is keen to introduce them to the general public. This is the purpose of Mon Petit Artisan®, whose online guide lists more than 1,700 businesses in Provence. “What I love about central Aix is the interplay between the arts and crafts, from great restaurants to artists’ studios. The area has soul. It’s all about feelings, never appearances.”
