Today, we meet you in Guéthary at Camille’s home for this new episode of Arsène and Family.
Camille and Her Tribe: A Very Lively Daily Life
As Camille explains: « We are quite a lively family. There is César, 19, Simone, 7, often dressed up from morning to night, Victor, my husband, and me ».
The least we can say is that there is never a dull moment in this family. Their days are filled with “big discussions, shouting, tears, teenage negotiations and improvised performances in the living room it’s very lively,” she laughs.
A Balance Between Professional and Family Life
“A joyful mix of organization and improvisation.” That’s how she defines her daily life. And for good reason: with demanding professional lives, Camille and her husband always make sure to be present for their children and spend quality time with them, especially by passing on values such as: “curiosity, openness and the ability to adapt to any situation while respecting others. We love traveling,” she explains, “and we almost always take them with us so they can discover the world differently.”
Beyond the values they pass on every day, their family organization also adapts to their professional constraints and travel schedules. “We travel a lot for work. My husband Victor works in the film industry and many things happen for him in Paris. We sometimes cross paths more than we actually see each other, but we always try to make sure one of us is there for the children.”
“When everyone gets together, it’s usually a joyful chaos that inevitably turns into Olympics, Top Chef and karaoke.”
The Importance of Family
Despite lives at full speed, moments with family and friends are sacred, like the famous Sunday roast chicken and beach picnics that last until late.
These shared moments take on even more meaning when considering the central place of family in their daily lives.
“I have three sisters, we are very close, as well as our blended parents. When everyone gets together, it’s often a joyful chaos that inevitably turns into Olympics, Top Chef and karaoke.”
In addition to these moments, the family gathers every year for cousin reunions: “We try to get together once or twice a year with the whole family (cousins, children…) across generations for a weekend in the mountains, in the countryside or in Morocco.”
Moments that are both precious and important, strengthening bonds and creating unforgettable memories.
“I love the natural, effortless feel of A.P.”
The Story with Arsène
Camille has known Arsène et les Pipelettes for a long time. As a child, she explains that she already dressed at Petit Boy, a brand created by Chloé’s grandparents, the founder of Arsène. She later worked herself at Contre Vents et Marées, another family-run brand: “There is a real connection and a natural continuity with the brand. I love the effortless and natural spirit of A.P. These are beautiful clothes, but made for children’s real lives: running, playing, living outdoors… and coming home covered in sand.”
Our time with Camille is already coming to an end, and it was a true pleasure discovering her world as well as her family’s. A huge thank you to her and to Simone for giving us their time and trust.
