Eager for a social oriented career, France Viens completed her bachelor's degree in Communications at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Upon leaving school, she turned to a career as an actress and host. At the beginning, she sought the guidance of luminaries by attending workshops and training with, amongst others, Danielle Fichaud, Robert Favreau and Jacqueline McClintock. She now works in both television and film and has done so for over 15 years.

Perfectly bilingual, France has worked primarily in English for the last several years. She has had the chance to work with great actresses like Kathleen Robertson, Charlize Theron and Kellie Martin.

As a presenter, she hosted Sur les traces des pharaons, a documentary of five one-hour episodes on Egypt and broadcasted on the Évasion channel.

On the big screen, France appeared in Last Exit, Lethal Obsession and Cruising Bar 2. On television, she played roles in the series The Tournament airing on CBC and also in C.A. She graced the screen in Providence, Les Bougon, Au secours de Béatrice, Unité 9, La maison bleue and Portrait robot. She was also part of the pilot for a web based sitcom called Where's Leroy in which she played the lead role.

 France also played the role of Corinne Glauque in District 31. Recently we have seen her in Indéfendable, L'échappée and L'Empereur.
