Your stories vanished after 24 hours, your 3,000 photos are asleep in your camera roll. Pizan turns them into a real magazine: your cover, twelve months of contents, the trip, your crew, the top 10. Made for the coffee table.

The summer feature
Grandma's clafoutis
She had never written it down. This summer, Léa sat next to her and noted everything: the cherries “by eye”, the oven “not too hot”, and the secret, which we won't tell you.
