MyFrenchLife™ – MaVieFrançaise®
An immersive, global salon for curious, savvy Francophiles
Bonjour et bienvenue! I’m Judy MacMahon, and for over 15 years, I’ve been building this home for people like you—curious, thoughtful Francophiles who want to experience France as it truly is.
Beyond the clichés. Deeper than the guidebooks. The layered culture, the elegant contradictions, the everyday magic that make France endlessly fascinating.
Think of this as a salon, not just a website. A space where stories are shared, questions are asked, and connections are made, where we linger together over French language, culture, books, and everyday French life.
Join 12,000+ curious, savvy Francophiles discovering the real France.

How This All Started
It began with a simple question:
Are others as fascinated by France as I am?”
Since 2010, we’ve grown into a thriving global community of Francophiles, French natives, and expats who share an insatiable curiosity about France’s intricacies and paradoxes. Together, we seek the insider perspectives that transform you from tourist to traveller, to savvy traveller—and when we’re not in France, we bring French life home with us, thinking, dreaming, and living in French wherever we are.
Our Values
We are generous, kind, and curious. We value quality, respect, authenticity, honesty, and generosity. At heart, we’re curious people who love healthy debate and discovering what makes France what it is today.
Let’s Connect
Questions? Thoughts to share? Just want to say bonjour?
I’d love to hear from you.
