Meet on September 28
An inspiring gathering in the heart of nature
led by Camille Toscani and Manon Amiguet.
From a young age, Camille Toscani has had a keen interest in wild environments. Naturally, she specialized to become a biologist, studying animal behavior in their natural habitats. After many years in polar regions, her desire to share her knowledge led her to train as a mountain guide and tree climbing educator.
Manon Amiguet, after studying biology and biodiversity management, has had the opportunity to work on various research programs, studying sharks in Polynesia, penguins in the subantarctic islands, Cape gannets in South Africa, and snakes on the islands of Port-Cros and Porquerolles.
For the past few years, Manon Amiguet has worked as a naturalist guide for whale watching in the Mediterranean and on Arctic and Antarctic cruises. Also passionate about outdoor sports and the mountains, she has undergone training as a mountain guide and tree climbing educator, which has led her to her current role as a ranger in the Écrins National Park.
WITH OUR PARTNERS
The Discovery of the ENNEAGRAM avec Delphine GUZZO
Born in 1969, Delphine quickly realized that she didn’t understand the world she was living in—a world where inequalities were widely accepted and normalized. She became determined to make sense of what she observed and sensed around her. As a teenager, both rebellious and studious, she turned to psychology to find meaning in human behaviors and the unconscious forces driving them. After earning her degree from Psychoprat’, she spent a year in the USA exploring another societal model, which turned out to be not so different after all. However, it was in West Africa that she found the new perspective she sought, along with a husband with whom she would spend nearly 15 years working in humanitarian aid.
In 2009, following a divorce and with her son in tow, Delphine returned to France and started from scratch. She pursued a master’s degree in work psychology and human resources, eventually embarking on a career as an HR consultant. By 2018, she had set up her own practice as an HR facilitator. Alongside her work, aware of the need to integrate all three centers of intelligence—mental, emotional, and physical—she continued exploring fields like psychobiology, transgenerational psychology, neuroscience, animal communication, nonviolent communication, and more recently, the Enneagram.
Delphine invites you to discover this powerful tool for understanding the human psyche at her workshop, which will be held at her home at the Pranzac Mill.
The event will be followed by an aperitif.
Dinner Conference
We are delighted to invite you to our next Féminin Pluriel Montpellier meeting.
Marie-Anne Clair, Technical and Digital Director of CNES (National Centre for Space Studies), will be our guest.
Marie-Anne Clair:
Completely dedicated to space, Marie-Anne Clair’s professional journey has taken place within CNES since 1983, covering a wide range of topics, from research offices to management positions, including responsibilities as a project manager.
She has been heavily involved in numerous scientific missions, notably the Integral gamma-ray observatory, and was responsible for the Myriade program.
She oversaw stratospheric balloon activities and contributed to the development of the Ariane 6 dossier in 2014.
From 2017 to 2019, she created the Orbital Systems Directorate at CNES, leading key missions in Martian exploration, including the ultra-sensitive SEIS seismometer and SuperCam, the main instrument of the Perseverance rover that landed on Mars on February 18, 2021.
She served as the Director of the Guiana Space Centre from 2019 to 2023. During these four years, major renovation projects for the CSG were launched, focusing on operations, digitalization, greening the energy of the space base, opening up to new launch operators, and improving competitiveness and working methods.
She has been the Technical and Digital Director of CNES since December 1, 2023.
Day in Aix-en-Provence
Our outing to Aix-en-Provence on October 5th is approaching and becoming more defined. At Catherine STARKMAN’s, we will discover a pure form of pictorial art, characterized by a profound exploration of color and texture, which has taken her from Paris to New York, where she spent nearly 20 years.
With BONNARD, one of the great pioneers of modernity, we will explore his elective affinities with Japan and the “images of the floating world.” Thanks to several connections through Delphine Cussac, we have chosen Mado, a cozy bistro-style restaurant, very popular with the locals in Aix.
Healing hearts and changing lives

This is precisely the focus of the Master’s program he leads at the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne. An aesthetic and avant-garde journey he invites us on—an event not to be missed!”— Béril Gurdogan
PARTENAIRES
A Gastronomic Dinner with a Feminine Touch: The Union of Plant-Based Creations and Chocolate
Unique Menu:
- Lettuce & Maritime Pine
- Haddock Stuffed with Charente Marsh Algae, Celery Stalk & Geranium
- Surprise Chocolate Dessert
I’m Marion, a lover of life, beauty, and of course, gastronomy. If you were expecting to read about discipline and strict rigor here, you’ll be surprised. Instead, I’ll speak of passion, emotion, and love, without which, I believe, nothing meaningful can be created. I’ll leave it to Marcel Proust to masterfully articulate what cuisine with a capital “C” can evoke, and I’ll humbly follow his footsteps with chocolates that blend simplicity, authenticity, and originality.
Inspired by childhood memories, boundless curiosity, and sensitivity to materials, textures, and scents, I strive to share all of that in each bite (or more) of indulgence.
With a vibrant imagination and a childlike soul, I’ve chosen to craft artisanal chocolate my way, staying true to my principles:
- Sustainable and mindful consumption (though not always “reasonable”).
- No preservatives or artificial flavors.
- Top-quality ingredients sourced locally and with minimal processing. In an era dominated by chemistry and industrial food, I believe in a return to authenticity.
- Less sugar. Praliné, yes—but with more hazelnuts and less sugar for better taste and guilt-free enjoyment!
- Eco-friendly packaging, including compostable boxes made from cacao beans.
In short: Love and Chocolate.
His cooking celebrates nature and plant-based flavors with honesty and commitment. Inspired by natural formations like reed beds—integral to ecosystems as they nourish and sustain countless species and purify waters—Florian’s work is an ode to nature.
He meticulously draws out the essence of simple, raw ingredients, working closely with farmers, breeders, and artisans to create a monthly renewed menu that highlights one product per dish. Each plate tells the story of a terroir and a meeting, reflecting the chef’s plant-focused culinary identity.
In perfect harmony with the cuisine, the wine list features vintners committed to biodynamic practices. Each wine complements the chef’s vision: pure, simple, and deeply rooted in nature.
Dinner – Conference ⎮ Meeting with Claudine Speltz
An accomplished female entrepreneur and committed activist, Claudine Speltz will share her inspiring journey with us while addressing a topic that is close to our hearts: gender equality and the evolving role of women in modern society. Drawing on her experience within the National Council of Women of Luxembourg (CNFL), of which she is currently the president, she will provide us with insightful reflections on the challenges and progress in this essential struggle for all women.
We look forward to welcoming you starting at 7:00 PM for an evening filled with exchanges, accompanied by a friendly dinner in the warm atmosphere of La Mirabelle restaurant.
