What I love
A taste for the real thing, shared with family.
My name is François Morel. These favorite places reflect what I love: authentic venues, local character, a well-made product, generous food or a simple activity to enjoy together. I keep the places where we feel good and make family memories, because true luxury lies in a love of the product and the care put into what we do.
