Meet the Story Behind
French Moods
French Moods was born from a simple idea: that gathering, cooking, and savoring life together can bring joy, connection, and meaning, wherever you are. It’s about slowing down, setting the table, and creating moments that feel warm, human, and real.
Where It Began
I was born in Provence, where food was never just about eating.
It was about time, time spent around the table, time to talk, to laugh, to linger. Meals unfolded slowly, conversations mattered, and togetherness was never rushed.
As life carried me elsewhere, I began to notice how rare those moments had become. How often gatherings turned into performances, meals into logistics, and time together into something squeezed between obligations.
French Moods was created as a response to that. Not to recreate France exactly, but to share its spirit, the art of gathering with ease, cooking together without pressure, and savoring the beauty of simple moments.
The Spirit of French Moods
French Moods is not a cooking class, a tour company, or a lifestyle trend. It’s an invitation.
An invitation to gather without perfection, to cook together rather than perform, to slow down and let moments unfold naturally.
Through shared meals, small rituals, curated guides, and intimate journeys, French Moods celebrates connection, the kind that happens when we feel at ease, welcomed, and present.
Whether around a kitchen table or in a sunlit Provençal village, the spirit remains the same:
simple, generous, and deeply human.
About Huguette
I’m Huguette, the founder of French Moods.
Born in Provence and now based in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve spent many years creating community-centered gatherings, cultural experiences, and projects that bring people together in meaningful ways.
I’m also a Chopra-Certified Well-Being Coach, which deeply influences how I approach hosting and experiences, with intention, care, and respect for our shared need for connection, presence, and joy.
French Moods is an extension of what I’ve always believed:
that well-being is not found only in practices or routines, but in moments of connection, when we slow down, share food, and feel part of something together.
