While some people have a very linear professional existence without any pitfalls or surprises, others, who are more daring, adventurous or who perhaps just have higher expectations, decide to pack it all in and start from scratch.
Corinne Dumas and Christian Aurenty definitely fall into the latter category. After spending part of his career in the kitchen during the frenzied tourist seasons, Christian Aurenty suddenly felt the need to settle down and find a new work-life balance.
“As soon as our children flew the nest, we wanted to change our lives. We wanted to get closer to nature and beekeeping seemed to be the best alternative.
Profitability is not necessarily our priority. We live according to the rhythm of the bees and we are happy with what they give us over the seasons.
Corinne and Christian have transformed an ancestor’s old house in the heart of Lumio into a charming honey house which stands alongside a mixture of their various honeys, beeswax candles and Corinne’s natural cosmetics, as well as delicious honey pastries made by Christian with a rediscovered pleasure.
“We have found our balance here and we enjoy working and welcoming our customers.” And that says it all!
