🇫🇷 A Historic Moment for Women in French Pastry! ❤️

What an extraordinary moment of pride and emotion!

Congratulations to ***y LeDuff, the first woman to earn the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (M*F) in Pastry and Confectionery!

This title is one of France’s highest honors in craftsmanship, recognizing exceptional skill, dedication, and excellence.

I sincerely hope this historic achievement opens doors for the many talented women who work tirelessly behind the scenes, often without medals, recognition, or the spotlight they deserve.

A heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and candidates. Behind such an extraordinary competition lie years of dedication, sacrifice, passion, and perseverance.

❤️ To every woman who dares to dream, to those who still doubt themselves, and to those who have never stopped believing: keep letting your talent shine!

Bravo, F***y! Bravo to everyone! 🇫🇷👏

Icône Française au service de la communauté francophone de Floride et véritable figure locale de Miami-beach, Corinne Ouelhadj Engel nous fait l’honneur de répondre à l’interview de la Gazette de Miami.

Il y a ceux qui arrivent en Floride pour construire leur propre aventure, et puis il y a ceux qui, une fois installés, passent une partie de leur temps à construire celle des autres, Corinne Ouelhadj Engel appartient incontestablement à cette deuxième catégorie.

Il y a cinq ans naissait la FAACT Florida Chapter avec une vision claire :
rassembler les artisans, créateurs et entrepreneurs francophones autour des valeurs d’excellence, de transmission et de solidarité.

Depuis sa création, la FAACT Florida s’est affirmée comme un véritable lien entre la France et les États-Unis, en accompagnant les talents, en valorisant les savoir-faire et en créant des opportunités concrètes pour celles et ceux qui entreprennent avec passion.

Au fil des années, nous avons organisé des événements fédérateurs, soutenu de nombreux projets, accompagné des artisans dans leur développement, et contribué à faire rayonner l’artisanat français en Floride.

Mais au-delà des actions, la FAACT Florida est avant tout une communauté.

Une communauté engagée, bienveillante et tournée vers l’avenir.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons avec fierté ces cinq années de travail, de rencontres et de réalisations et nous regardons avec enthousiasme vers les projets à venir.

Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui font vivre la FAACT Florida Chapter chaque jour.

L’aventure continue. 🇫🇷🇺🇸✨
