Beaumont, Fleur was born in Lyon in 1988 and trained as a journalist at the Sorbonne before spending a decade as a restaurant critic and features writer in Paris, Nice, and Montreal. Her reporting on smallholder vanilla cooperatives and Mediterranean foodways earned her a Prix de la Presse Gastronomique shortlist in 2019. She now lives in Antibes, where she splits her days between drafting love stories, testing pastry recipes, and volunteering with a literacy nonprofit. When not writing, she collects antique copper molds and swims whenever the mistral allows.
