At the Palais Garnier in Paris

Hi! I’m Marina Piche, the Founder & Creative Director of Enjoie L'Atelier

Who and what is Enjoie L'Atelier, you ask? And where did it come from?


Hi there! I’m Marina Piche, the Founder and Creative Director of Enjoie L'Atelier. Let me take you on a little journey about how it all began.


I was born on the Côte d’Azur in Nice to a European father and an Australian mother, I grew up with one foot on the sun-soaked shores of Australia and the other in the rich culture of Europe. Creativity was the heartbeat of our home—my father, an artist trained at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and my mother, a writer, meant my childhood was full of imagination and artistry.


My passion for design was expanded during my teenage years, traveling through cities like New York, Portland, Boston, and London. Theatre and film became my passion, and their ability to draw emotion out of people inspired me to study set and costume design at WAAPA in Perth, Australia. What drew me to theatre wasn’t just the visual spectacle but the way it made people feel. I loved witnessing how a moment could lift someone out of their everyday life and transport them to another world. That desire to create transformative experiences has been my north star ever since.


My career has been an adventure, taking me to Los Angeles for eight years where I ran a creative agency, produced a music festival, and collaborated with some incredibly talented artists. But after years of a fast-paced lifestyle, I knew it was time to reconnect with myself—and my roots. That decision took me to Paris.


The moment my feet touched the ground, I felt an undeniable sense of being home. Strolling through the streets, I immersed myself in art galleries, flea markets, architecture, and the French language. Paris rekindled my creative spirit in a way I hadn’t felt in years.


And then, the real magic happened. Through a twist of fate, I found myself on a train to the French Alps, where I met Kris and Lloyd and discovered a hidden gem called Enjoie—the farmhouse that would change everything. Nestled in the mountain leading up to Alpe d’Huez, this tranquil haven, became the grounding force I didn’t know I needed. It offered me space, adventure, culture, and a deep connection to nature and LOVE! (not to mention the fresh air after living in LA!)


This chapter of my life is still unfolding, but I know it’s going to be extraordinary.

Enjoie L’Atelier was born from my love of European culture, art, and design. As I traveled and curated pieces for the farmhouse, I realized the global appetite for timeless, handcrafted treasures with rich histories. And so, this journey began—an atelier dedicated to sharing these beautiful finds with the world, with you!


But Enjoie L’Atelier is more than just a collection of pieces; it’s a celebration of culture, storytelling, and connection. Whether you’re curious about our farmhouse retreats, our carefully curated pieces, or the experiential events I produce around the world, I invite you to join me on this adventure.

The best is yet to come, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
