About your host, Cynthia
Bonjour ! My name is Cynthia, I’m a Colorado-based entrepreneur and the founder of Best French Forever. I was born and raised in a small village of Provence where I lived for most of my life. It’s only when I moved to the US ten years ago to live with my American lover (now-husband) that I realized how fortunate I had been to grow up in that region.
In 2021, to stay connected with my roots, I launched a subscription box service and custom gift company to bring artisan-made gems from Provence to American Francophiles.
Today, I curate experiences for groups of women to discover my home region and learn the principles of the French art de vivre. I also create custom itineraries for people wanting to travel to Provence on their own.
As my business evolves, my mission remains the same: to inspire women to live a life they love, by infusing doses of the French lifestyle into their everyday.
I cannot wait to see you find quiet and peace within yourself, and discover the beauty in the simplicity of everyday life.
“Have you ever dreamed of diving deep into the heart of Provence, guided by a native soul? Allons-y!”
