He closed the second salvo of portraits of Love is in the meadow 2022, this Monday, February 21, on M6. After Emmanuelle, it was the turn ofAlain to present themselves to the public. A 72-year-old man who does equi-tourism in Brittany.
He is well recognizable with his cowboy look and surrounded by his horses. After owning his organic pig farm for seventeen years, Alain devoted himself twelve years ago to his equi-tourism activity. “It’s just love“, confided the one who masterfully directs his animals (and who never takes his hat off, important point). A passion he can never give up.
When he retired, he moved into his old horse stable, converted into a cabin. Although he has running water, he has no fridge and the electricity is produced by solar panels. He washes in the sink while waiting for his bathroom to be ready. A simple life for those who receive 1,400 euros in retirement per month. “I have no rent to pay, I have no electricity, nothing“, he clarified.
If his future companion does not want to move into his cabin, he is ready to live with her if she lives not far from his home, or to rent a house in his region. On the heart side, he was married for the first time at the age of 22 with the mother of his first three children, aged four years younger. His second wife was seventeen years younger. A woman he stayed with for eight years. “She left with someone younger. I spent a very dark period for two years. A real period of depression. I got treatment. I saw a shrink for almost two years“, he revealed.
The father, who also has a 21-year-old daughter named Laurette, has not given up on love. Alain easily falls in love and manages to see if a person has a beautiful soul. He hopes to meet a woman between 50 and 75 years old and wants to live “until [qu’il] can make love“. Every day if possible. She must also be kind, cheerful and sociable. Convinced that he will not have more than two letters, he assures us that he will not be difficult. But Karine Le Marchand is confident about him.
