Reconversion: becoming someone else or becoming yourself?
Festival of Vocations
Inspiring testimonial
Audrey Émery (parliamentary assistant turned cheese-maker, La Laiterie marseillaise) and Yves Bichet (bricklayer turned novelist)
One left mayors and MPs to devote herself to cheese. The other left his trowel, cement mixer and building sites to sit at his table and write novels. Had they gone astray? Did they suddenly transform themselves by the wave of a magic wand? Or does each of us possess several “selves”, just waiting for a nudge from life to realize them?
