Meeting with Marion Larpent
Portrait of a true ambassador of slow living, Marion embodies a real sweetness of life through her talent for harmonizing shapes and colors to create spaces of character.
@Matthieu Parent
My name is Marion, I am a visual arts teacher and passionate about decoration and with my husband Frederick, we settled in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel after our studies, where we renovated an old Normandy farm. For 2 years, we have opened a guest room, a tiny house and a gîte in a small village house that we have completely renovated.
What is your favorite home routine?
Since we live at 200 km/h, I don't really have a routine, but I like to use products that are effective, but that I can also leave within reach without having to hide them.
Which Fer à Cheval product is essential for you?
My favorite essential is the multi-purpose spray that follows me everywhere in the house, from the bathroom to the kitchen... I love it, it's super effective and natural, it's not aggressive!
Do you have a particular memory of Marseille soap?
Marseille soap brings back memories of my childhood in Provence during the holidays, but also the family soap placed near the sink in the kitchen... the one that everyone uses and that lasts a super long time :-D
What is your favorite piece of decor?
I don't have a favorite room, they change with the seasons, I like to create warm atmospheres both outside, under the old pear tree or the pergola, as well as in the kitchen or the living room.
Do you have any good addresses to share with us around Mont-Saint-Michel?
I recommend "La Brocante" in Precey, in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, an unusual place as beautiful as it is nice to rummage around or sit down for a drink! (be careful, the place closes in winter!)
