The FRENCH INFLUENCE reflects the founder, Megan’s, maternal Lyons family legacy of cultural inclusion. It is authentic to her own French studies, exchange living experiences, travels and friendships that are now four generations strong with her children et leurs amis français.

Megan’s mother grew up in numerous cities and countries around the world. Megan’s grandparents believed it was important for their family to truly be immersed in the culture of each “host” country. Prior to moving back permanently to a suburb of Chicago, the Lyons family lived for several years in the French city of Orléans. There, they lived in a French neighborhood, ate incredible French food (thanks to Megan’s grandmother’s culinary talent and local studies) went to French schools and formed life-long family friendships.
