A map of France with local flavors
« When I come to make a video, I already know what I want to share, who I want to link to. It could be for example a producer, I find out what he does, I take a product, then I go see a restaurateur… I say hey, can we imagine a recipe around that? And like that, we create a link… » says the mop.
