With Marcelline...the organic aubergine

featured in News & reviews Author Pam Williamson, Saint-Tropez Editor Updated

An organic aubergine is the latest YouTube sensation to come out of Saint Tropez and on 26th July 2017, Marcelline the aubergine and her creator, author Sylvie Bourgeois, attended the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation Gala at the Domain Bertraud Belieu Vineyard.

Sylvie Bourgeois' ninth novel, 'Sophie à Saint-Tropez', launched in bookshops in August 2016 and is the fruit of the novelists love for the Saint Tropez region. Now forming a new partnership with Patrice de Colmont, owner of the infamous Club 55 Beach Club on Pampelonne beach, La Ferme du Vallon des Bouis (an organic farm) and the Chateau de la Môle, Bourgeois is supporting organic farming in a very unique way.

Having created the website 'Avec Sylvie on sème pour la vie' (With Sylvie we sow for life), Bourgeois went on to create 'The Adventures of Marcelline the Aubergine', a video series that follows Marcelline and offers a quirky view of life. One of her videos takes Marcelline into the heart of the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation Gala at the Domain Bertraud Belieu Vineyard, giving us a very special 'aubergine-eye view' of this celebrity packed event.
