Alix Jean

Photographer

Alix Jean has shared with The Host three places that inspire her.

Before devoting herself fully to photography, Alix ran a Japanese flea market and then opened a restaurant. Today, splitting her time between the Balearic Islands and France, she takes photographs, seeking out the beauty in details and light.

Maison Aribert

Saint-Martin-d'Uriage

France

In the Vercors Massif, I come to hike in the Saint-Martin-d'Uriage park, and especially for Christophe Aribert’s cuisine—he cooks with nature—which is undoubtedly the dining experience that has moved me the most to date.

Meem Townhouse

Mallorca

,

Spain

At Meem Townhouse, in the heart of Sóller, I always find myself drawn back to this minimalist bathroom with its wooden interior shutters, where I love to take a bath and let time slip by.

Clos Margot

Montpellier

,

France

A cozy, secluded family retreat surrounded by cypress trees, Clos Margot is a peaceful haven. I love to sit by the window and watch the squirrels and birds in Pascale’s garden.

Matea Leš

Born on the Croatian coast, Matea grew up enjoying a peaceful life, lulled by the Adriatic Sea. At age 12, her first travels revealed to her the joy of discovering new places. And they also helped her realize something essential: no matter where she goes, the sea will always be her home. As the author of the book *Jadran: Snapshots of Belonging*, she recounts, through her words and images, the deep bond that connects her to her homeland and the Adriatic Sea.
