“I partied a lot”

Montpellier, where I lived, where I worked. So that was after my higher studies, while I was preparing for the entrance exams to journalism schools.“, she remembered.

And the TF1 journalist, who recently warned against certain very harmful possible effects of contact lenses, added: “I worked in bars, in creperies. I participated in the launch of the Gaumont Multiplex, the first in the region at the time. And I celebrated a lot!”

A department which is directly linked to his intimate life. “I don’t like to talk about my private life, but that’s where I built everything.

And that’s also where I started my professional career.“, she added.

Questioned by France Bleu in 2022, the journalist who succeeded Jean-Pierre Pernaut on the front page admitted to often missing her life far from the capital: “My heart is in the South. This South is missing, this South is missing. It’s the horizon that I miss… The green of the countryside and the blue of the sky. There you go, I still miss it and yet it’s been 5 years since we moved to Paris, but I miss this South yes. Besides, I’m going back there as soon as I can!“
