For this fifteenth edition of the Rendez-vous littéraires rue Cambon [Literary Rendezvous at Rue Cambon] that was held at the 7L library in Paris, CHANEL and Charlotte Casiraghi, ambassador and spokesperson for the House, invited writer Emmanuelle Lambert to pay tribute to Colette, along with actress and friend of the House Clémence Poésy.
