Each summer, far from television studios, Nagui swaps the studios for the sun of Saint-Tropez. The iconic host of France 2, now 62 years old, reunites with his family and loved ones in a Provencal villa acquired in 1997, which has over time become a place full of personal history and memories. Located in the highly coveted Capon district, this house with sea view, pool, and large wooded area attracts attention not only for its real estate value but also for what takes place there every summer: reunions between celebrities, family moments, and discreet commitments to disadvantaged youth.
A villa in Saint-Tropez that has become a symbol of Nagui’s success
In 1997, at the age of 35, Nagui invested in this former Provencal building for 9 million francs, approximately 1.9 million euros. At the time, the host financed this purchase through credit, a decision that has proven particularly judicious. Today, the property is estimated to be worth between 8 and 10 million euros, according to various sources. An impressive valuation, driven by the scarcity of properties in this sought-after area of the French Riviera.
In response to questions about his success, the host candidly stated in the columns of Libération: “I earned money, but I didn’t steal it, it was seen on air.” Perched on the heights, the villa offers a breathtaking view of the sea, a pool, and several living spaces designed to welcome family and friends in a setting protected from prying eyes.
A house of happiness between celebrities and generosity
Over the years, this second home has become a true summer meeting point. Nagui regularly welcomes close friends and well-known personalities. Journalist Renée Chiche describes, in her book Nagui, enfant de la télé, these privileged moments: “As with Didier Deschamps, Nagui likes to host the Cymes family for a few days in his Saint-Tropez villa between boat trips with his friend Deschamps, and some tanning sessions on Pampelonne beach.”
But the villa is not limited to these gatherings of famous friends. Every summer, the host also opens his doors to “young people who do not go on vacation, in association with the Secours catholique.” A discreet gesture that gives another dimension to this place, far from the image of a simple luxury residence.
Where Nagui and Mélanie Page began their story
This Saint-Tropez house also holds a special place in the host’s personal life. It is here that he meets, in 2000, the woman who will become his wife, Mélanie Page. The actress recalls, during her appearance on the show Je t’aime, etc. on France 2, their first meeting with humor: “It was in Saint-Tropez and we met at his place. I was kind of chaperoning a friend he had invited, and I had told her: ‘Don’t go, it’s a trap!’ So I went there to protect her!”
For Nagui, the memory remains equally remarkable, as he shared with Purepeople: “As soon as I saw her, I was charmed. But she made me wait!” Their relationship was built gradually, as the actress revealed: “At the beginning, we weren’t necessarily ready to start a relationship, but we took things very slowly. We didn’t live together quickly, we didn’t say ‘I love you’ quickly, and things happened over time.” Since then, the couple, married in 2010, returns every summer to this villa with their children, making this place much more than a second home, but a true family anchor.
