Catherine Ceylac: Her New Life in Provence – Finding 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 scene. Today, the presenter lives a quiet, yet all the happier, life in Provence – and in the best company.
Farewell to Paris: A New Idyll in the South
Who would have thought that the elegant journalist would one day turn out to be a genuine countryside 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 a book that has opened up," she herself revealed about her new surroundings. Provence gives her the peace she always wanted – a break after a fulfilling professional life in front of the camera.
An Open Book: Love with a News Veteran
The happiness by her side is no stranger: a former star of the news programmes (JT) now shares her daily life. The two are connected not only by their passion for journalism but also by their joy in the simple things in life. "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 today – far from the staged TV studio.
From "Thé ou Café" to Muse of the Pen
Even if she's no longer seen 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 shows her not as a hectic presenter, but as a calming influence – 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 mainly includes:
- long walks through the Provençal landscape
- culinary discoveries at local markets
- 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 encounters. Now she herself is living that encounter with life to the fullest. It's a quiet but fulfilling chapter after years in the spotlight – and she seems happier than ever.
