Laetitia, whose name means "joy" in Latin, first found happiness in the lush green

countryside of Normandy, France, where she spent her early childhood. To this 

day, she remains a country girl at heart. " I lived for ten years in absolute simplicity, 

surrounded by nature with very few neighbors. I could play with the frogs in the 

river or wander through the woods with absolute freedom. It was fantastic. Even 

today, I love to sometimes throw my arms around a  tree. It gives me energy and 

makes me feel close to nature." 

   This love of nature, as well as family and friends, often leads her back to the 

exquisite Mediterranean island of Corsica, where she maintains a home. Her father, 

Dominique, is of Corsican descent and she grew up infused with Corsican values. 

Family, loyalty, independence, as well as a touch of rebelliousness, are all of 

paramount importance. If you know Corsica, Laetitia will tell you, then you know her.
