Who is Gilles Bouleau, the journalist appointed to lead the long-awaited debate between the two rounds?

On April 10, Emmanuel Macron (En Marche) and Marine Le Pen (Rassemblement National) qualified for the second round of the presidential election. A result similar to that of 2017. For the second consecutive time, the two candidates will debate together to convince their fellow citizens. This event will take place on April 20 on TF1 and France 2 as our colleagues from the Parisian.

According to the latest news, Gilles Bouleau and Léa Salamé have been selected to direct it. The political sphere has no secrets for the journalist. His career intrigues as much as it inspires. Gilles Bouleau was born in 1962. Passionate about the media, he trained in the field at the Training Center for Journalists in Paris (CFJ). After winning the Jean d’Arcy scholarship in 1986, the happy father of two children joined – later – the editorial staff of the first channel.

His career takes a new turn! Initially, Gilles Bouleau distinguished himself in the economic, social and political service in the same way as the arts and entertainment division. In the late 90s, the JT star presented the morning show for LCI (Which as a reminder is the subsidiary of TF1). For several years, he was a correspondent for the famous group in London and then in Washington. In 2011 everything is accelerating.

Gilles Bouleau returns to France and presents the 8 p.m. news on TF1 thus succeeding Laurence Ferrari. At the same time, the journalist also masterfully manages all special operations. Since then everything smiled at him. In the city, the latter shares the life of Elisabeth Tran-Bouleau, mother of his two daughters whom he fiercely protects.

“I am discreet by nature. From the start, I erected barriers to protect my wife and two daughters.” he confessed in the columns of TV 7 days. “I never wanted them to be exposed or bothered.”

Her two children have always flourished out of sight… In all simplicity. “They grew up in England and the United States (two countries where he was a correspondent, editor’s note) and watched mainly Anglo-Saxon programs”, added Gilles Bouleau who loves watching movies “Sunday evening with family” and to conclude philosophically: “Today, they consume a large number of series, such as La Casa de Papel. I avoid following them on this path, because I know it’s very addictive!”
