Celebrities have their habits. Although most live in Paris, certain places like Saint-Tropez, Corsica or even La Baule allow them to recharge their batteries. Indeed, for many years, the Guérande peninsula has regularly welcomed well-known personalities from the world of cinema, entertainment or song.
In Loire-Atlantique, most celebrities come spend a weekend. Jean-Paul Belmondo has come there several times, Lorà nt Deutsch and Marc Jolivet have their habits there, Henri Leconte has already rented a house, Patrick Bruel and Charles Trenet have been notable figures in the sector, Catherine Deneuve or Nicolas Sarkozy take advantage of the emblematic palaces of La Baule… A region appreciated for her discretion, which even convinced certain stars to settle there.
Eric Cantona owns a house in Le Croisic
For many years, Eric
Cantona has a second home in Le Croisic. According to testimonies from locals, the former footballer can be seen from time to time at Le Croisic or on the stalls of the La Baule market. A place that he particularly appreciates since he passes there almost unnoticed and thus escapes from the media agitation.
Just like him, Gérard Lanvin fell in love with the region. While he now lives most of the year in Marrakech, Morocco, the actor lived for 30 years in Guérande
with his wife Jennifer. A logical choice for those who wanted to protect their children from media coverage. “I didn’t want them to suffer from my notoriety. Living in the provinces, fleeing worldliness, it was obvious to us†, he explained.
Vianney finds inspiration in the town
At the age of 12, Vianney discovered Le Croisic. He then spent many holidays there and even worked as a waiter there. Once an adult, he decided tobuy a house in the town. “I immediately fell in love with it†, he confided to
West France.
On a daily basis, Vianney lives in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. For more than ten years, he has regularly taken refuge in Le Croisic. There, the singer forgets the hustle and bustle of the capital and lives at a calmer pace. His house has also become a place of inspiration and creation since he recorded part of one of his albums there. A place that is dear to his heart and where he probably likes to take his children.
