“We were two amateur pastry chefs who came to live one of the most beautiful experiences there is, but we were very far from imagining that a meeting under this tent was going to change our lives... It was between laughter, tears, stress and fatigue that this beautiful story was born... And yet on paper nothing was simple, one from Toulouse, the other from Belgium, but the love always triumphs
