Choosing the Light: Why Bordeaux

Working remotely gives you a strange kind of freedom. Once your work no longer depends on where you are, you have to decide where you actually want to live.

As a consultant, I could have settled anywhere. We chose Bordeaux as a family, for its quality of life. In less than four months, the city had won us over: the summer sun, the light on the stone, the Arcachon basin close enough for an evening. And Paris is two hours away, which means staying connected costs very little.

This is the city where I built GhostOne. I sometimes think that a project that demanding needs the opposite around it: somewhere calm enough to think, and pleasant enough to come back to.

I can work from anywhere, and I remain open to moving. But I am glad of having chosen, because you work better when you have decided where you live.
