Sophie Hiénard

Sophie Hiénard is a French journalist whose work spans food, culture, society, and entertainment, with bylines in outlets such as Time Out Paris, BFM TV, Le Point, France Info, Yahoo News France, and France 3 Régions. Her reporting often blends cultural curiosity with sharp observational detail, whether she’s profiling emerging culinary trends, exploring the craft behind on‑screen food styling, or unpacking the stories behind iconic music and folklore.

She is known for her ability to move fluidly between criticism, feature writing, and cultural analysis, producing restaurant reviews, artist portraits, and deep dives into topics ranging from cognitive biases to the origins of classic songs. Her work for Le Point includes verified articles on music plagiarism, the history of “Frère Jacques,” and psychological insights into belief and perception — showcasing her versatility across both lifestyle and intellectual subjects.

Before establishing herself professionally, Hiénard gained recognition as a young reporter, notably participating in the Jeunes Reporters pour l’Environnement program while studying at Université Paris‑Dauphine. Her early work already reflected her interest in sustainability, food culture, and social issues. Today, she continues to build a distinctive voice at the intersection of food, society, and culture, and was awarded the Prix du Jeune Écrivain 2024, further cementing her emerging influence in French journalism.
