Michel Jonasz has just released an album Soul, is currently playing at the Edouard VII theater and will be on tour in 2025. When the singer has a little time, he rushes to “his little second home”, his little corner of paradise…
Michel Jonasz is 77 years old and he is not at all ready to retire. With a new album, a tour and the theater, the start of the school year is busy for him. The artist lives near Paris in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, but as soon as he has a few days of respite, he rushes to recharge his batteries by the sea, in the Var, in his house. The father of Florian, 46, and Hannah, 40, perhaps hopes to end his life there? In any case, it will certainly not be in a nursing home…
Michel Jonasz: his house near the sea in the Var
Michel Jonasz gave some details about his cozy little nest in the Var, speaking to France Bleu. “It is near Sainte-Maxime. It’s a house with a sea view and, what’s more, we are 100 meters walk from the sea“, he indicated. The building must be relatively large because the artist regularly receives his family, children and grandchildren there.
And it is not by chance that he chose this place. “The Var, I really like this region because it is very preserved. I like going for walks, I have a motorbike there, you can go (…) on mountain roads where there is no one. (…) You breathe nature“, he confided.
Michel Jonasz, in a nursing home? “It stinks of boredom, death…”
Michel Jonasz would perhaps like to end his days in this house. In any case, he cannot imagine for a moment finding himself one day in a nursing home. “Having visited it, it doesn’t feel like freedom. It stinks of boredom, death, exploitation”, he declared in February 2024 in The Sunday Journal.
What does he think of the passage of time? “Old age is in the head, it’s having this feeling of no longer progressing.” did he start by developing. And to specify: “I’m not programmed for that. I was born with the certainty that life will bring me beautiful things. Certainly, today, I have a little less hair and a little more weight, but I maintain the same optimism as when I was 10.” The interpreter of Powerpuff Girl is very optimistic about its future. “Even if one day I am diagnosed with Charcot’s disease, for example, I will continue to believe in it.”
