Francine has been an award-winning licensed realtor since 2007 and joined California Outdoor Properties in 2024. Born in Châteauroux, France, Francine had the unique opportunity to grow up in a large family with parents who embraced the joie de vivre of France’s culture, language, cuisine, and viticulture. In 1990, Francine and her husband Jeff created a bicycle touring company to guide cyclists along the backroads of France, Italy, and Northern Arizona. They have accompanied “folks on spokes” for over thirty years, enjoying the outdoors on two wheels and riding through the various French wine-producing regions. Francine has a unique take on understanding the land, its uses, and the “terroir” that is so important for the cultivation of products from the earth. Francine graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Communications, and she uses those skills in marketing her properties to the fullest creative extent. Francine lives and plays in Coronado, where she cycles with the Crown City Cyclists, kicks it up at HIIT classes, hikes the backcountry of San Diego, paddles with the Coronado Outrigger Canoe Club, skis in the winter, and is ready for the next adventure.
