Catherine Ceylac: Her New Life in Provence – Happiness Alongside a TV Star
For years, she was the warm, welcoming face of French breakfast television, known for her empathetic interviews on the cult favourite show "Thé ou Café". But Catherine Ceylac consciously chose to leave the frantic Parisian media scene behind. Today, the host lives a quieter, yet much happier life in the South of France – and she's in excellent company.
Leaving Paris Behind: A New Idyll in the South
Who would have guessed that the elegant journalist would one day turn out to be a true lover of country life? Catherine Ceylac has settled down, far from the capital's flashbulbs. Surrounded by lavender fields and rolling hills, she savours the peace of the South. "I'm like a book that's finally opened," she herself said about her new surroundings. Provence gives her the tranquility she always longed for – a well-deserved break after a fulfilling career in front of the camera.
An Open Book: Love with a Veteran News Anchor
The man by her side is no stranger: a former star of the news broadcasts (JT) now shares her everyday life. They are connected not only by their passion for journalism but also by a shared joy in life's simple things. "With him, I don't have to hide anything," says Ceylac with a smile. She describes the relationship with her partner as deep and trusting. It's this authenticity she radiates now – a world away from the staged TV studio.
From "Thé ou Café" to a Muse for Illustrators
Even though she's no longer on screen, Catherine Ceylac remains a cherished figure in the cultural memory. Charming proof of this is a recent illustration making the rounds: "Catherine Ceylac for ever" is the title of this press sketch. It doesn't depict her as a busy host but as a calming presence – a tribute to her unforgettable aura and style. For many French people, she's simply part of television history, and this little piece of art shows that her fans have never forgotten her.
Her new life now revolves around:
- long walks through the Provençal landscape
- culinary discoveries at local markets
- quality time with her partner and old companions
- occasional visits from friends in the media industry
Anyone familiar with the old show "Thé ou Café" knows that Catherine Ceylac always had a knack for genuine human connection. Now, she is fully embracing that connection with life itself. It's a quiet, yet fulfilling chapter after years in the limelight – and she seems happier than ever.
