Gesa Hansen
Designer and architect
Gesa Hansen has recommended three spots for The Host—somewhere between the sea and the mountains—so you don’t have to choose
The Tuba Club
Marseille
,
France
"The Tuba Club, for Marion Mailaender's design—and because I need the sea just as much as I need the mountains."
The Crown
Chamonix
,
France
"My hotel, La Couronne in Chamonix, because the mountains are essential to me. Argentière, right next to Les Grands Montets, is my favorite resort. It’s a true high-mountain resort, and I love it."
Nordlandet
Bornholm
,
Denmark
"My Proustian madeleine? The sand on the beach in Bornholm."

We’d love to hear about it.
Chrysoline de Gastines, Fanny Morel, Voyage Voyage Magazine, Manon Fleury… Discover the places where entrepreneurs, photographers, journalists, chefs and travel enthusiasts go to unwind and recharge.
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.
Christelle Yambayisa
A photographer and model, Christelle Yambayisa travels with her camera the way others keep a journal. From big cities to the wildest landscapes, she captures the places, faces, and moments that tell us something about the world and the people who live in it. It’s a way for her to preserve memories, but also to give a voice to the stories we sometimes forget to tell.
Léa Coutaye
As the founder of Yogascope, Léa travels the world in search of the perfect locations. She isn’t fond of grand luxury hotels or chain hotels that all look the same; instead, she seeks out family-run inns, century-old mansions, or secluded camps in the middle of the desert.
