Catherine Ceylac: Her New Life in Provence – Happiness with a TV Star
For years, she was the friendly face of French breakfast television, known for her empathetic interviews on the cult show "Thé ou Café". But Catherine Ceylac has consciously turned her back on the hectic Parisian media machine. Today, the presenter lives a quiet, yet all the happier, life in Provence – and in the best possible company.
Goodbye to Paris: A New Idyll in the South
Who would have thought that the elegant journalist would one day emerge as a true-blue country enthusiast? Catherine Ceylac has settled far from the capital's limelight. Amidst lavender fields and rolling hills, she savours the tranquillity of the south. "I'm an open book now," she herself revealed about her new surroundings. Provence gives her the peace she always wished for – a respite after a fulfilling career in front of the camera.
An Open Book: Love with a News Stalwart
The happiness by her side is no stranger: a former star of the news programmes (JT) now shares her daily life. The two are bound not only by a passion for journalism, but also by a joy for life's simple pleasures. "I don't have to hide anything from him," 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 television studio.
From "Thé ou Café" to Muse of the Caricaturists
Even though she's no longer on screen, Catherine Ceylac remains present in the cultural memory. A charming testament to this is a recent drawing doing the rounds: "Catherine Ceylac for ever" is the title of this press sketch. It doesn't depict her as a hectic presenter, 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 proves her fans have never forgotten her.
Her new life now primarily includes:
- long walks through the Provençal countryside
- culinary discoveries at local markets
- time with her partner and old companions
- occasional visits from friends in the media industry
Those who know the old show "Thé ou Café" understand that Catherine Ceylac always had a knack for genuine encounters. Now, she herself is living that encounter with life to the fullest. It's a quiet, yet fulfilling, chapter after years in the spotlight – and she seems happier than ever.
