She met Valérie de Montvallon, a painter full of sensitivity and subtlety who presented her art at the Galerie Lise Cormery who appreciated it.
Valérie de Montvallon was invited by Lise Cormery to participate in the Olympiades des Arts in Paris. She then presented a joint work 'Sans Titre' with Baillargeon at the event, to represent Canada, very different from the work of Valérie de Montvallon.
During the Paris Arts Olympiads of 1991 and 1992, under the aegis of President Mitterrand and the Mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, the artist was part of the Canadian delegation with the French Valérie de Montvallon. This international event was organized by the Galerie Lise Cormery for the French National Olympic and Sports Committee, under the Presidency of the CNOSF of Nelson Pailhou in 1991 and 1992 in Paris, on the occasion of the 1992 Winter Olympics in France. The Paris Arts Olympiads followed the prestigious Seoul Arts Olympiads, where the city founded for this competition a Museum of International Paintings and the SOMA, an open-air Museum of Monumental Sculptures, with guest artists from around the world who came to exhibit and represent 20th century art.
