Between space and law
As a Law student at Université Paris Cité, passionate about astronomy since childhood — space law emerged as an obvious path for me. A field at the crossroads of two worlds I deeply love, still under construction, where the most fundamental legal questions remain unanswered. It is precisely this vacuum that fascinates me and guides my research.
On this website, I gather my reflections on space law, on the women who built astronomy from the shadows, and on everything that lies at the intersection of these two universes.
Space law
Who owns the Moon? Who is liable if a satellite falls? Space law is a work in progress, and that is what makes it so exciting.
Women's place
Women have discovered, calculated, and proven—often without recognition. I want to bring their stories to light.
Astronomy
As a child, I spent my nights gazing at the stars. Today, I focus on their legal framework, but the fascination remains untouched.
