2) Kacy Margo

Hailing from Southern California, the Real Grilfriends in Paris star first traveled to Paris after taking a semester off in college. A trip to the City of Love led to her being smitten with the city and its culture. Determined to stay in Paris, Margo got herself a job as a temporary English teacher in a French classroom.

Over the past couple of years, she has had to shuffle between Paris, Los Angeles, and New York, owing to financial and work instability, but Margo recently returned to Paris without a return ticket.


3) Margaux Lignel

The alum of some of the finest institutes in the world, ranging from the American School in Paris, FIT to Conde Nast College of Fashion and Design, Lignel is on a trip to discover herself.

Born to French parents living in New York, Lignel spent her formative years moving between Paris and New York and is now back in Paris to make a life for herself on her own terms.


4) Victoria Zito

Born and raised in Texas, Zito wanted to pursue her fashion-forward dreams. As a child, she was always encouraged to stay close to home and to pick a safe career. However, once she got a scholarship to Parsons, she jumped at the chance to move to Paris in 2017.

Zito is currently the head designer of Chloe Colette. Recently divorced and ready to start another chapter of her life, she is ready to find love in Paris as a part of Real Girlfriends in Paris.

Cornell alum Adja Toure is a high achiever who knows it’s never to late to start over. Feeling stuck in her current job, Toure has begun to consider a different career path altogether and is leaning towards the beauty industry.

She visited Paris as a child and always thought about returning as an adult as it had felt like home to her. Toure is eager to get back into the dating scene, although she needs to be able to fight her trust issues first.
