We met in Kovalam in January 1992. She had been travelling widely, studying the cultural diversity of countries. She was captivated by coastal village life, and our bond deepened — Alexander Devasia

- BIJU E PAUL @ Alappuzha

WHAT began as a journey of discovery turned into a life-altering experience for Sylvie Bantle, who found not just love, but a home on the serene shores of Chettikad, Alappuzha. Now, months after her passing, her husband, Alexander Devasia, is transforming their shared dream into a museum of art in memory of their extraordinary bond.

Born in Munich, Sylvie's wanderlust brought her to Kerala in the 1980s. She met Alexander, a native of Padinjarekalayil, Punnapra and their connection was instant and profound.

"We met in Kovalam in January 1992. She had been travelling widely, studying the cultural diversity of countries," recounts Alexander. "She was captivated by coastal village life, and our bond deepened."
