Françoise Nyssen was raised and attended university in Belgium.[1] She has a maîtrise (Master's degree) from the Institut supérieur d’urbanisme et de rénovation urbaine in Brussels.
Career
Early in her career, Nyssen worked first as an urban planner in Paris.[2]
In 1987, Nyssen became an associate and presiding director of Actes Sud publisher, founded by her father Hubert Nyssen,[1] and located in Arles.[3] Françoise Nyssen and her husband founded the school Domaine du possible in 2014, using Steiner-Waldorf paedagogical methods.[4] The school settled in a farm a few kilometers away from the centre of Arles, where a hundred pupils, aged from 3 to 16, were enrolled in September 2016.[4]
On 17 May 2017, Nyssen was appointed French Minister of Culture, as the successor of Audrey Azoulay.[2] On 13 November 2017, she announced the launch of a new fund to support young designers with €300,000 to be invested in 10 projects annually.[5]
During her time in office, Nyssen was accused of impropriety over renovations done in her previous publishing house’s outpost in Arles in 2011.[6] Shortly after, the public prosecutor’s office in Paris launched a preliminary investigation into Nyssen, after French weekly Le Canard Enchaîné reported that she had failed to declare building renovations in her prior career as a publisher.[6] In October 2018, she was replaced by Franck Riester in a cabinet reshuffle.[7]
