Turkey, Surprising and Generous (June 5, 2021)

Turkey is a multifaceted country where lifestyles adapt to the diversity of its landscapes, making it a highly sought-after tourist destination.

During her trip, Sophie Jovillard meets shepherds making their aryan (a type of brioche) and Istanbulites in search of new experiences. Their common thread: hospitality and a desire to share.
