Valérie Maigret Berger, a versatile individual from Paris, possesses a profound interest in a multitude of disciplines, seamlessly integrating artistic expression with architecture, international relations, philosophy, art, literature, economics, and entrepreneurship.

She champions the concept of slow media, recognising its significance in our distraction-laden environment. Valérie places great value on silence and traditional lyrical compositions, engaging profoundly with the subtleties of life. She resonates with songs such as "Love So Strong" by The Lovelitest and appreciates the resilience found in music, particularly in the works of Karl Böhm. Her passion for opera is deeply rooted in her heritage, influenced by her mother’s commitment to ballet and the violin. Surrounded by flowers, textiles, and treasured artefacts, she discovers beauty in details and harmony in her daily interactions. An enthusiastic chess player, she also embraces a quintessentially British sense of humour.

Valérie's formative years in a “boarding school” in Norway instilled in her a strong sense of discipline, further enriched by the love of her parents. The experiences her family endured during World War II continue to resonate throughout her life story.

Valérie advocates for diplomacy and environmental stewardship, perceiving beauty as a means to foster harmony in troubled societies through order and nuance.

She stands firmly against the death penalty, promoting kindness as a pathway to healing cynicism and malevolence. Valérie observes societal tendencies towards deception and believes that ideas should arise from genuine creativity rather than mere imitation.

With a philosophical perspective, she has been greatly influenced by her intellectually inclined mother, who has guided her to approach life with sensitivity and intuition. Valérie reflects on her father's love, recognising that true freedom arises from heartfelt choices. Her father is also quite strict, Catholic, yet fair. She has learned, even today, that nothing comes without a cost in the world. Regarding inner calmness, gestures, a steady gaze, and respect for rhythms and heritage, it is not flashy, but coherent.

Valérie aspires to achieve a harmonious balance between refinement and freedom, longing for an elegant existence that embraces authenticity and lightness. She holds a deep affection for the Alps and Europe as a whole, given her connections to several countries in the region. Her guiding principle is to reconcile form and spontaneity through love and contemplation, celebrating authenticity as a timeless value.
