The secret team
Violette Berger is the star pseudonym we chose to embody our diverse group of writers.
No real need to elaborate on the choice of "Violette", it seems rather obvious to us... As for "Berger", the teams have a great passion for sheep.
Let's get back to them: behind this name lies a group of people made up of members from our various teams, ranging from creatives and communications specialists to product specialists, customer relationship management and in-house after-sales service, as well as external experts who support us on specific topics, such as Mathilde Magnien, a psychologist and sex therapist specialising in supporting vulnerable people.
The idea is to pool everyone's strengths to best meet your needs, anticipate them when developing new products and during our key moments.
A name, a mission: breaking taboos around intimate wellbeing
Passage du Désir was born from a simple observation: in France, there was nowhere to ask questions about your sexuality without feeling ashamed. No judgement, no vulgarity, no medical jargon. Just clear answers.
That is Violette's mission, supported by specialists such as Mathilde Magnien. For us, positive sexuality is an essential key to personal happiness and fulfilling relationships. We wanted a knowledge-sharer; someone who talks to you like a very well-informed friend. Unable to find that person, we created her. She is like us: curious, free, expert.

The book: Sex toys explained for beginners
In 2020, all this accumulated knowledge, years of customer feedback and technical expertise, took the form of a book, published under the name Violette Berger and available on Amazon.
We designed it as a practical, fun and completely uninhibited guide. It shares the same goal as this blog: to give you the keys to explore your intimacy with confidence, a smile, and without the slightest taboo.
