The name Varenne is inspired by our founder’s ancestral heritage. Francois la Varenne was Lesley’s earliest North American ancestor from the Poitou region of France. It felt fitting to stand on the shoulders of the man whose grit and resilience found him sailing across an ocean and pay homage to the man who fathered my American family line.
In an interconnected world where we can find a tribe anywhere online, family connection and heritage matter more than ever. We thank Francois for boldly embarking on his journey to find his best life and are proud to create a future through Varenne he would find beautiful and empowering to all his progeny.
