As a child, Isabelle Rossignol had only one dream: to make the pride of her parents, small businesses in the western suburbs of Paris, of her father in particular who always regretted not having gone to business school. Exemplary schooling with Dominican women, piano and classical dance: she perfectly fulfilled her mission as a model little girl. “I don't have any pathos related to my childhood. My parents, who worked a lot, were not very present. But they were extremely loving. They prepared me to be a successful young adult,” she recalls.
