Salut ! From Hong Kong to Paris !

From These Baguettes (Chopsticks in Hong Kong) to Those Baguettes (symbol of French culture)
HongKongaise • Slow Living in Paris

I’m delighted to introduce myself as a French Art de Vivre curator based in Paris.

I live with my French husband in a residential Parisian neighbourhood in western Paris that carries a quiet connection with Windsor in the United Kingdom, subtly echoing my Hong Kong upbringing shaped by its colonial past. While everyday life unfolds more slowly away from busy tourist quarters, the city's cultural and gastronomic heart remains close, along the historic axis linking the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées.

This unique setting has become the backdrop for QueenEco Paris, which explores French Art de Vivre through a closer reading of everyday taste, objects, and cultural spaces, shaped through lived experience and formal training in France.

I am developing Inside Art de Vivre as a curated blog rooted in lived experience, alongside wine projects and terroir-led programs. If you are also interested in French Art de Vivre, I invite you to follow my work from France.
