Short introduction
- What are you proud of?
- To support democracy by defending our credible and quality local media.
- In your free time, what do you like to do most?
- Spending time with my children and loved ones. Reading, visiting, traveling, doing yoga or bodypump depending on the mood!
- Where would you go in a time machine and with whom/why?
- I would go to the Age of Enlightenment to experience the intellectual revolution of the time. Well, I might go as a man, because I’m not sure I would be particularly well received as a woman...
Sophie's Recommendations
- What is your favourite movie?
- "Les Petits Mouchoirs" and "Close" moved me deeply last year. "Out of Africa" and "The Count of Monte Cristo."
- What book would you recommend?
- "Veiller sur Elle" by Jean-Baptiste Andrea, "Feu" by Maria Pourchet, and "Histoires des médias: Des signaux de fumée aux réseaux sociaux, et bien après" by Jacques Attali.
- Can you recommend a good restaurant?
- "Plenty! I’m a real foodie... In Brussels: Sao, Flamme, Itaewon, Toucan Sur Mer, Le Parloir, Senzaru."
- Do you have another cool tip for us?
- Don't miss taking a stroll through the center of Brussels on the weekend and enjoying shrimp croquettes at Noordzee. And for cultural outings, there's nothing better than the event listings from Moustique and La Libre
Last but not least

- Il n'y a rien que l'effort et l'amour ne puissent réaliser (Cicéron) (Translation red.: There is nothing that effort and love cannot achieve)
