Who am I?

 My name is Marie, I was born and raised on the island of La Réunion. Lulled by the murmur of the waves, the scent of spices and especially the cultural diversity, I have always had one foot in the warm sand or on a path and the other ready to go on an adventure. Driven by an insatiable curiosity (and perhaps a secret desire to check if the rougail saucisse was the best elsewhere), I have traveled a lot and lived abroad for some time.

It was while exploring the world that I realized one essential thing: Reunion Island is a dream destination that has nothing to send to the postcards of other tropical paradises. Ironically, it was while looking for my happiness elsewhere that I understood that my little corner of paradise was at home. But who said that you had to live there to love it? After all, absence makes the heart tenderer, doesn't it?

Today, temporarily living in Montpellier, before a new destination, I am proud to be an ambassador of my native island, even thousands of kilometers away. I passionately share its hidden treasures, its colorful traditions and its breathtaking landscapes (and I subtly slip into every conversation that the best arranged rum comes from here, chap pa).

My goal? To make sure everyone knows that Reunion Island is not just an island lost in the Indian Ocean, but the place where the whole world meets.

Why the MARONER store ?

The brand aims to celebrate and promote the cultural richness of Reunion Island through its old expressions. Inspired by its unique heritage, it seeks to share with the world the traditions and values ​​that make this small country unique. Allowing everyone to come together and connect with their cultural heritage, whether they live there or not. The store thus aims to create a link between Reunion Islanders around the world, regardless of where they live.
