Our best-friend, this is why I love her:

She is smart, focused, dedicated and a real player in life.

“Noelle have learned the rules of the game. And then, she played better than anyone else.”

Noelle recoit La Legion D’Honneur devant ses amis!

Noelle’s best Friends & Family

Jocelyne Zerbib, Daniel Perel, S.T Dupont President, Noelle’s friend from University in France. I met Daniel first, before knowing Noelle actually, at that time he was running the luxurious jewelry company called PIAGET in Hong Kong while I lived there. Then he moved to Japan to become Cartier President. Then I moved to Tokyo in 1998, I met Noelle and later on I found out that they were the closest friends. The world is very small…

Claude (or Granny) Noelle’s Mother is extraordinary, at 85 years old she still goes to techno concerts in Paris with her friends whom are University students. Une grande dame!

 

Noelle receives the title of “Chevalier de La Légion d”Honneur”,

from Mr. Emmanuel Prat, President & CEO of LVMH Group Japan

 

The Legion of Honour, or in full the National Order of the Legion of Honour (French: Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur) is a French order established by Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of the First Republic, on 19 May 1802.

 

“That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.”

The Order is the highest decoration in France and is divided into five various degrees:

Chevalier (Knight), Officier (Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand Officier (Grand Officer) and Grand Croix (Grand Cross).

 

Emmanuel & Françoise both received La Légion D’honneur
