Our Story

About WWN

Women gathering

2026

Founded in Nice, France

How It All Started

Working Women in Nice was born from a simple truth: moving to a new country is both exciting and overwhelming. Our founder Elizaveta Shapkina an expat herself, realized that while the Côte d'Azur offers beauty and opportunity, building a real support network takes effort and intention.

What started as a small facegroup group in 2025 has grown into a vibrant community of over 500 women from 40+ nationalities — all supporting each other to build meaningful lives in France.

Our Mission

Empowerment, integration, and connection for every woman who calls Nice home.

Our Vision

Building a strong global sisterhood where every woman thrives in France.

"We don't just live in Nice — we belong here, together."

Our Sisterhood

The Community

More than a network — a place where friendships are forged, careers are launched, and lives are enriched.

Networking

Connect with professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives from around the world.

Support

A safe space to ask questions, share challenges, and get advice from women who understand.

Friendships

Build genuine, lasting friendships with women who share your journey.

Growth

Workshops, mentorship, and resources to help you flourish personally and professionally.
