Reflecting on a Journey Through “Here It All Begins”
Perraud describes her time on the series as a significant part of her life, saying, “It’s like a slice of life. The series occupies half, if not three-quarters, of my daily life right now! It’s like a family, in fact.” She embraces the changes in the cast, noting how some characters depart while others return, which adds depth to her affectionate view of this long-running project.
The Dynamic Between Constance and Teyssier
Constance’s relationship with her husband, played by Benjamin Baroche, is a central theme in the show. Perraud acknowledges that while their characters are deeply intertwined, Teyssier might be able to stand alone more easily due to his connections with the Institute and the culinary world. Nevertheless, she points out that Constance has had opportunities to shine independently, such as her friendship with Rose, indicating that both characters offer a rich narrative when together or apart.

Additionally, she expresses interest in exploring Constance’s relationship with Bérénice, suggesting that the storyline could reveal more about their shared backstory.
When discussing the potential return of Constance and Teyssier’s children, portrayed by Khaled Alouach and Pola Petrenko, Perraud admits to missing the young actors. “We formed very strong bonds,” she notes, emphasizing the family dynamic they created on set. She dreams of their return alongside the little nephew Axel, hoping that the storyline could evolve with their involvement.
Perraud also reflects on Constance’s most regrettable actions, identifying her infidelity as a significant moment. Despite this, she believes it ultimately strengthened their relationship, showing that vulnerability can lead to deeper connections. “It was a necessary evil,” she admits.
Finally, when asked if she could be friends with Constance, Perraud affirms, “Yes!” She acknowledges Constance’s serious side but also highlights her fun and lighthearted moments, showing that there’s more to the character than meets the eye.
