During initial interviews surrounding the new partnership, Laetitia Casta stated that
the first piece would represent homage to La Maison Cointreau and its first lady. She
hoped to raise awareness of pivotal moments within the Maison's history in all four
corners of the globe.



"It was important for me to showcase the Cointreau archives, which are an exceptional
treasure trove. Rare and precious nuggets abound, such as the world's first motion-picture
advert, devised by the Lumiere brothers. Above all the archives feature one unique woman:
Louisa Cointreau. As the Maison's first lady, Cointreau would not be what it is today
without her influence. In partnership with Cointreau I want to encourage women to explore
their own creativity. To dream, dare and create - these are the key elements of an
adventure that we are setting in motion around the world." - Comments by Laetitia Casta.



The first Cointreau webisode: a masterpiece for women, by women



Laetitia Casta chose Laure Flammarion to direct the first webisode. Laure is a true
Cointreau woman. As a writer, director and gallery owner, Laure Flammarion uses her
creativity to find fulfilment. "This was a delicious challenge to sink my teeth into:
unveiling Cointreau's rich heritage, celebrating Louisa Cointreau and passing the baton to
Laetitia Casta as she takes on the mantle of Creative Director and announces the mission
she is continuing - or maybe we should say restarting? I am delighted to be a part of this
creative adventure." - Comments from Laure Flammarion.



Marine Dorfmann, who produced this webisode and those yet to be released, was the next
woman to be chosen by Cointreau and Laetitia Casta. Marine immediately seized this
opportunity: "The project is an incredible fusion of ideas, and that is just how I like
it. I committed to this adventure from the start and it is brightening up my life like a
dash of Cointreau brings life to a cocktail. This webisode bodes well for a magnificent
partnership".



Eugenie Poumaillou has been partnering with Cointreau for over a year. Eugenie agreed
to collaboration with Cointreau that would require her to set off in search of lost
archives. Her advice proved invaluable for the webisode. "In fact, Cointreau and I have a
long history together, full of little happy moments. It is a story sewn together with
creativity and elegance, just like that of the Maison itself", adds Eugenie Poumaillou.



The first Cointreau webisode: the foundations of a creative odyssey



This webisode is a chance for Laetitia Casta to lay out the foundations and values
underpinning a programme that will be unveiled in spring 2015. It was devised with a view
that allows men and women to give free reign to their creativity.



The coming months will see creative collaborations with inspiring women from different
backgrounds and fields. This odyssey is open to anyone who seeks it. To follow events as
they unfold, simply register at http://www.cointreau.comh.com and wait for experiences
that are as zesty as any Cointreau Fizz.



From Louisa Cointreau to Laetitia Casta - as well as sharing initials, these women are
part of the fabric of the living legend that has made Cointreau a true icon.
