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 warm, insightful interviews on the cult show "Thé ou Café". But Catherine Ceylac has consciously turned her back on the hustle and bustle of the Paris media scene. Today, the presenter lives a quiet, yet all the happier, life in Provence – and she's in very good company.
Goodbye to Paris: A new slice of paradise in the south
Who would have thought that the elegant journalist would one day turn out to be a genuine country lover? Catherine Ceylac has settled far from the capital's limelight. Amidst lavender fields and rolling hills, she's soaking up 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 longed for – a well-earned break after a fulfilling career in front of the camera.
An open book: Love with a news legend
The happiness by her side is no stranger: a former star of the news bulletins (JT) now shares her everyday 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 TV studio.
From "Thé ou Café" to a muse for illustrators
Even though she's no longer on screen, Catherine Ceylac remains in the cultural memory. A charming piece of evidence is a recent drawing doing the rounds: "Catherine Ceylac for ever" is the title of this press sketch. It doesn't show her as a frantic host, but as a calm and steady presence – a tribute to her unforgettable aura and style. For many French people, she's simply part of television history, and this little artwork proves her fans haven't forgotten her.
Her new life now mainly consists of:
- long walks through the Provençal countryside
- culinary discoveries at local markets
- spending time with her partner and old companions
- the occasional visit from friends in the media industry
Anyone who knows the old show "Thé ou Café" knows that Catherine Ceylac always had a knack for genuine connection. Now, she's living that connection with life to the fullest. It's a quiet but fulfilling chapter after years in the spotlight – and she seems happier than ever.
