Florence Guérin (born on 12 June 1965), also known as Florence Nicolas, is a French actress. Born in Nice, France, she appeared both in film and in television roles since 1980.
Having spent her early life in comfortable circumstances, at around 10 years of age she moved to a public housing project (habitation à loyer modéré), in Cannes-La Bocca, following the death of her father. She left school at age 14 and won the Miss Cinema competition at Cannes in 1980.
On 31 May 1998 she was involved in a serious road traffic accident caused by a drunk driver at Villepinte, Seine-Saint-Denis. Her 5-year-old son Nicolas died in the tragedy.
