Manuella Maury, born January 8, 1971 in Mase in the canton of Valais, is a Swiss journalist, presenter and author. After studying journalism, she began her career in radio (Rhône FM and Radio Suisse Romande), hosting the Matinales de la 1re.
In 1997, she joined TSR, where she co-hosts various programs, including “Passe-moi les jumelles”, and hosts a talk show on Canal 9. In 2005, she launched her first show, “À côté de la plaque”, where she talks to celebrities while preparing meals with them. In 2007, she created and hosted “Tête en l’air”, a program in which she receives a French-speaking guest for twenty-four hours in her home village of Mase. She also published “D’une voyelle à un voyou” in 2008, co-written with Thierry Meury.

Since September 2020, she has been at the helm of “Alice s’émerveille”, a program broadcast every Sunday on Radio Suisse Romande, where she welcomes literary personalities who agree to put a few books in their backpacks and let themselves be guided into an imaginary world, walking from a poetic excerpt to an essay, from an adult novel to a children’s book, from a biography to a travel book.
