So attached to her region, Marianne James bought a sublime house in Drôme, and she is crazy about it

The singer and juror of the program France has incredible talent is particularly attached to this region of France, since she was born in Montélimar on February 18, 1962. A love so strong that she chose to treat herself to a lovely second home there, in which she clears her head between two professional missions.

Marianne James’ haven of peace in Drôme

The singer is attached to Drôme, the region in which she was born and spent her childhood, and in which her family is still based. For years, while her career took her to Paris, she only went to her sister’s place in her heartland, as she explained to the Dauphiné Libéré : “It’s a total change of scenery, my haven of peace. It’s impossible for me to return to Paris, where I live, without having spent several weeks in Ardèche with my sister, in Saint-Jean-Chambre.”

In 2020, she bought her own house, a few kilometers from the homes of her loved ones. However, the house is big enough to accommodate everyone she loves. Marianne James’ Drôme home is therefore vast, surrounded by greenery and equipped with a splendid terrace, an ideal setting for gatherings with friends or family, or to simply recharge your batteries between two recordings of shows.

Marianne James a acheté sa maison grâce à Éric Antoine

This house so dear to the heart of Marianne James was purchased thanks to a “happy” coincidence. Indeed, at the time of the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, the singer preferred to return to her region of origin, rather than staying alone in Paris. She should have returned to the capital to resume filming for France has incredible talent, but Éric Antoine, his sidekick on the show, then caught Covid.

In the magazine CloserMarianne James explains that it was this change in her schedule that accelerated everything: “It’s thanks to Éric Antoine! He had tested positive for Covid in the middle of filming the show, which had interrupted everything. Without that, I would not have been down for so long, and I would not have chosen to settle down there. Since then, every time we toast, we raise our glasses and shout: to the health of Éric Antoine!”
