Mathilde BODU
Founder and CEO of HAPPY IN FRANCE

HAPPY IN FRANCE was founded by a passionate and experienced professional with extensive international experience. For over a decade, she lived across multiple continents, immersing herself in diverse cultures, learning new languages and building professional projects in multicultural environments.

A polyglot with expertise in various sectors, Mathilde BODU has trained and supported hundreds of international professionals and athletes, helping them integrate and grow both personally and professionally. Her hands-on experience has allowed her to develop key skills in adaptability, resilience and open-mindedness, as well as a unique understanding of the challenges of expatriation.

After many years abroad, she successfully navigated the challenges of reintegration upon returning to France and decided to use her expertise in training and coaching to help others. This led to the creation of HAPPY IN FRANCE, an agency dedicated to supporting professionals, athletes and their families in their linguistic, cultural, social and professional integration.

With a multicultural and open-minded team, HAPPY IN FRANCE provides tailor-made support to meet each person’s specific needs. The agency goes beyond the practical aspects of relocation, helping clients feel at home, understand and appreciate French culture, and build a strong network that fosters both personal and professional fulfillment.

Guided by a human-centered and systemic vision, HAPPY IN FRANCE is committed to transforming every international transition into a positive, enriching, and successful experience !
