Our Philosophy

Love deserves more than ordinary.

In a city of abundance and endless options, many dates begin to feel the same: polished, yet strangely impersonal.

Fougue is our quiet antidote.
A Maison devoted to modern romance. 

We believe romance lives in the feeling.
In presence rather than performance.
In emotion, attention, and authenticity.

We design original, themed romantic experiences, thoughtfully curated and shaped as stories to share.
Experiences that invite couples to step out of the ordinary and experience something different together.

Each Fougue. experience is crafted with intention: immersive, intimate, and personal by design, where moments become memories.

Welcome to Fougue.

Meet the Founder

Bonjour!

I’m Manon, a Parisian romantic at heart drawn to stories, beauty, and the quiet power of thoughtful details. To me, romance is about leaving a trace, surprising with care, and creating moments that genuinely resonate.

After years in Dubai designing events and brand experiences for luxury houses and international companies, I learned how to shape moments with precision and meaning. Over time, I felt the growing desire to bring that approach into something more personal.

In my own life, I found myself seeking experiences beyond the obvious, moments that invite connection and presence. I realised the city didn’t lack places or options, but moments for two that felt intimate and authentic.

Fougue. was born from that conviction, to create a more intentional way of experiencing romance.
