For those who are convinced that life is made up of encounters, Quentin Schalk's career path is probably edifying. A native of Lyon, Quentin Schalk holds a baccalauréat ES, followed by a bachelor's degree from a Lyon business school. "In 2018, when I was just 23, I headed for Méribel, somewhat by chance, to spend a season in the hotel business. I was recruited as a bartender at the Grand Coeur, without any references, but with a little help from outside. Obviously, the deception didn't work for long, and I was told I'd have to look for work elsewhere. At the last minute, however, I'm offered a trial run in a theater. I'm quite at ease there, and I meet Déborah Di Caro, who has studied at the hotel management school. The advice and support of the woman who was to become my partner were to prove decisive. "
