Elise Mellor

A recent graduate from Monash with majors in behavioural and literary studies, I have enjoyed a lifelong (and very public) affair with travel and writing.

My obsession with France was born on the Champs Elysees at age nine, when a beaming baker bestowed pastries on my sisters and me. The condition was exacerbated years later on a summer holiday in Cavalaire, and again by the discovery of French wine. By all accounts, my love for France is incurable.
