🇫🇷 Paris, 2025 — The scent of fresh baguettes and the allure of French gastronomy are about to meet Hollywood charm.

CNN has officially announced the next chapter in its acclaimed Searching For franchise: Eva Longoria: Searching for France, set to premiere in 2026.

Following her flavorful journeys through Mexico and Spain, Longoria now turns her gaze to France—a country where cuisine is not just culture, but identity. “France has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine,” Longoria said, “and I’m thrilled to dive into its rich gastronomic traditions”.

🥖 A Taste of Parisian Prestige

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Just this spring, Mickaël Reydellet of La Parisienne bakery in the 10th arrondissement clinched the coveted Grand Prix de la Meilleure Baguette de Paris 2025. His golden-crusted creation beat out 187 competitors and earned him the honor of supplying bread to the Élysée Palace for a year4.

Reydellet’s baguette—crackling with a “symphony of craquements,” as Euronews described it—will likely be featured in Longoria’s series, which promises to explore not just Michelin-starred temples but also the soul of French baking.

🏛️ From Boulevards to the Élysée

The Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French President, will serve as a symbolic anchor in the series. With its storied halls and weekly Council of Ministers meetings, it represents the intersection of tradition, power, and national pride. And now, it’s also home to Reydellet’s award-winning baguette—a perfect metaphor for the fusion of heritage and everyday excellence.

🎥 Behind the Lens

Produced by Hyphenate Media Group, with Longoria herself as executive producer, the series will traverse France’s regions, uncovering stories where food becomes memory, and meals become movements. Expect scenes from bustling boulangeries, quiet vineyards, and perhaps even a presidential breakfast.

🥐 Final Crumb

In a year where Paris celebrates its finest bread and CNN expands its global storytelling, Searching for France promises to be more than a travelogue—it’s a love letter to a nation where every bite tells a story.

Palate Memoir & Culinary Devotion 🍷🥖
Here’s a little-known insight that adds a layer of intimacy to Eva Longoria: Searching for France: 🔍 Eva Longoria’s personal palate has deep French roots. While the series is framed as a cultural exploration, Longoria has revealed that several regions of France have shaped her own culinary preferences over the years—especially Provence, where she’s spent time learning rustic techniques and developing a love for Mediterranean flavors2. This isn’t just a professional project; it’s a return to places that have quietly influenced her cooking and lifestyle off-camera. So when she says she’s “revisiting the regions that have shaped my own palate and passion,” it’s not just poetic—it’s personal.
