Emmanuel Aimery, the joyful energy of a man passionate about the art of cooking and living

Soft voice, generous smile, sincere listening… Emmanuel Aimery was reserved and immediately noticed. There is no need for him to raise his voice, get agitated, turn around. He seemed to be enveloped in a luminous aura that was enough to compel him wherever he went. Lumineuse is the word that comes to mind for anyone who has had the opportunity to work with him, his siblings. His personality warmed you, enveloping you with rare kindness. This ability to inspire confidence, to listen, to understand the elusive made him an extraordinary colleague, friend, but also an exceptional professional who worked since 2005 to create the pages of “Art of Living”.

Talent scout

He connected with the greatest chefs and designers, discovered talent, identified trends, whetted our appetites. He had a curious eye for the world, for the beautiful, for the good. He opened the doors, moved forward, cleared the ground, explored. He was a joy bringer, always enthusiastic, taking the teams with him, but also the readers. Until the end, despite the terrible disease that tormented him for four years, Emanuel wanted to do his job well, to maintain this passion, to maintain his fire for journalism. He was in the office, in the field, despite his treatments, with this cheerful and optimistic energy that was unique to him. He passed away on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, far too early at the age of 57, but he’s still here… because in the newsroom. Madame Figarowe will ensure that its light never goes out.
