Episode 1: Marianne Poirey, Bringing Brittany to Australia

For our very first episode, Ania sits down with Marianne Poirey, Brittany Down Under Founder, executive partner at Four Frogs, and one of Sydney's most passionate voices for French hospitality. After 13 years in Australia and 26 years in the hospitality industry, Marianne has built something rare: a life and a career that truly belongs to two worlds at once. From cooking with her mum in eastern France, to working under Alain Ducasse in Paris, to creating the Brittany Down Under Festival in Sydney, her story is one of passion, connection, and the courage to just go for it. Over a homemade Tarte Tatin, they talk honestly about what drives her, what hospitality really costs you, why she's dedicated to building bridges between Breton and Celtic communities in Australia and what she'd tell every woman who's still doubting herself. #TheSweetSeat #HospitalityPodcast #SydneyPodcast #FrenchInAustralia #WomenInHospitality
