Departures of note

Marc de la Ménardière was a French filmmaker whose 2015 documentary En quête de sens recounted his break with the corporate world in pursuit of a life closer to others and to nature. The film traced a personal and ecological transformation that set him on a path far from conventional career trajectories. He continued this journey by co-founding an eco-lieu in the Deux-Sèvres region with his companion, where they cultivated cereals and welcomed the public, combining ecological transition with personal introspection.
