Faced with the success of the great return of star Academy Last year, TF1 decided to come back and offer a second season to its loyal spectators. So, the show will be back on our small screens on November 4, for a new edition with 16 new students. During a recent press conference, we were able to discover the entire teaching staff, the opportunity to discover that Yanis Marshall, dance teacher and Laure Ballon, singing teacher, had been ousted and replaced.
As has been the tradition since the very first season of the Star Academy which was launched more than 20 years ago, it is within the famous castle of Dammarie-les-Lys that the students will settle down and have their lessons. and will make their assessments. On October 4, we discovered that the castle now has a brand new decor and 61 cameras allowing Live subscribers, available on TF1MAX, to see the entire adventures of their favorite candidates.
Despite this, Le Parisien revealed this Sunday October 15 that two days before the students’ arrival,
the castle of Dammarie-lès-Lys will be put up for auction. Located in the department of Seine-et-Marne, in the Île-de-France region, the property consists of a castle,“a caretaker’s house, outbuildings and a greenhouse on land of 18 ha, 12 ares and 27 centiares”, will be sold at auction on November 2 at 2 p.m. at the Melun judicial court. The newspaper adds that “the sale by auction takes place at the request of the company Axa Banque, with a starting price set at €700,000“.
According to Jean-Michel Pontet, the current owner of the premises, this sale is not a problem. In fact, the tenants signed to “a nine-year lease with SCI Château des Vives-Eaux. Even if there were to be another owner, Prestige Location would still rent to whoever it wants for nine years. It doesn’t change anything.” The Prestige Location company, in addition to having carried out renovation work, plans to organize weddings in the summer of 2024. Enough to reassure us about the future of the show.
