A graduate of Science Po Aix and HEC Paris, Eugénie Lefebvre began her career with the BETC advertising agency. In 2017, as part of the agency, she founded Magasins Généraux, a creative center in Paris, which she managed for five years.

Settled in Arles since 2022, she has opened La Madeleine Arles, a living and creative space that is both a guest house and artists' residence. With her association Les Ateliers de La Madeleine, she invites artists each year to work on a project combining visual arts and arts and crafts.

Eugénie Lefebvre has been a member of the Board of Directors and then Vice-President of Le Printemps de septembre à Toulouse since 2018, and became President of theassociation in May 2022, succeeding its founder Mathé Perrin. Under her impetus, the festival changed form and became, from 2023, Le Nouveau Printemps: each year, an associate artist from a varied field of creation looks at a district of the city of Toulouse. In 2023, the associate artist was designer matali crasset; in 2024, filmmaker Alain Guiraudie; and in 2025, musician and performer Kiddy Smile.
