Evelyne Dufau

Experience Authentique founder, Evelyne was born and raised in the Basque-influenced Southwest of France in the shadow of the Pyrénées. She left France in 1985 to complete her MBA in Toronto, Canada, a country with which she soon became enamoured.

Post graduation, she followed a career in sales and marketing in the United States, Mexico and Canada. A proud new Canadian, Evelyne retained an abiding love and nostalgia for the country and region of her birth, with her French family and childhood friends keeping her culturally and emotionally connected to authentic art de vivre. In return, she has passed that experience on to many English-speaking guests with the launch of Expérience Authentique in 2002.

A Mompreneur ( i.e. entrepreneur and mother), the trilingual Evelyne is active in her Toronto community, singing in the women's choir Cantores Celestes, and serving as an organizer of summer camps for French immersion students. Other times, you will find her in France hosting clients and building her Expérience Authentique brand while enjoying family and friends.

Expérience Authentique sees Evelyne's life come full circle. It ties together by the heartstrings the two lands she loves.
