Audrey Pulvar's childhood was spent in Fort-de-France, Martinique, experiencing a rich cultural environment and becoming immersed in politics.

She stayed there until April 2002, when Jean-Claude Dassier hired her on the satellite continuous news channel LCI as freelance journalist.

As the first black woman to present a television news on a terrestrial French channel, she refused to see it as a symbol and to take the lead.

At the same time, she continued to collaborate with i>Télé but chose to reduce her program length to only one hour, from 7:00 to 8:00 P.M. Later on in November 2010, the i>Télé managers decided to suspend her from the show, in reaction to her partner Arnaud Montebourg officially claiming to be a Socialist Party candidate for the presidential election in 2012.

In late January 2011, Pulvar returned to i>Télé to present a debate upon social issues without any political guest, known as Arrêt sur l'info.

In September 2011, Pulvar appeared on the Saturday night talk show On n'est pas couché on France 2 with Natacha Polony, which is hosted by the popular TV personality Laurent Ruquier.

[1] Involved in Parisian local politics for a number of years, on 3 July 2020 Pulvar became Deputy Mayor of Paris in charge of sustainable food, agriculture and supply chains.
