This Thursday, June 29, Julia Vignali bowed out during her last appearance in Télématin. Indeed, she will pass the torch to her colleague Martie Potolano as she announced in her departure speech: “Finally, a very big thank you to Delphine Ernotte and Stéphane Sitbon Gomez who had the good idea two years ago to bring me back to public service when I was in an excellent pastry training center in Neuilly-sur- Seine. I leave with a light heart and I leave you with the excellent journalist Marie Portolano. Who ate the same cakes as me. But it shows less on her”.
While waiting for her arrival on France 2, Marie Portolano started a new adventure on M6 this Wednesday evening with Help our farms. This program highlights the agricultural world and the difficulties it encounters.

At the time of filming, Marie Portolano was still pregnant since it took place last summer. Fortunately, the production has adapted the program for the host. “I was seven months pregnant when we started. I was lucky, the production adapted the filming to me. I had to go to the farms, but it was complicated to train, drive For example, one of the farms is located in Moselle, quite far away: it required 2 hours by car after the train. The farmers came to me, I met them on a farm not very far from the Paris region. is very suitable for my condition”, she explained at the microphone of Tele-Leisure.
A moving testimony
During this first evening, Marie Portolano met Stéphane, a cow breeder accompanied by his son Dorian. Behind this farm actually hides a whole family story. “The farm was created 65 years ago. My parents had the farm. They started with a cow and a small piece of land and they developed gradually. I took over the farm in 2002. J I continued the dairy activity and following that, we encountered difficulties…”, he confided to the wife of Grégoire Ludig. Given the fall in the price of milk, Stéphane had to make a radical decision: “At that point, I have to make the decision to sell the herd… So it’s not a small decision because I have a son who is passionate about cows. For Dorian, the farm is everything in his eyes “.
In addition, family problems did not help the future of the farm: “As a result of that, their mother left… We have to find solutions. We have to face the children. We must not freak out because you find yourself on your own. At that time, I lost a few pounds…” Desperate, Dorian’s dad thought of the worst. He pursues : “If I hadn’t had my buddy Samuel who was there, I wouldn’t be here. Day and night he listened to me, psychologically, he supported me”. Faced with this moving testimony, Marie Portolano could not contain her tears… and we understand her!
