Like every summer, the legendary Place des Lices in Saint-Tropez was transformed this Wednesday into a gigantic bowling alley… dream scene of a merciless pétanque competition between celebrities ! Without thank you, perhaps, but not without smiles: delighted to meet again, the VIPs present in the seaside resort took part with enthusiasm in this beautiful event, organized for the benefit of an association.
And the one who seemed the happiest was Cyril Lignac: the 44-year-old cook, young father of a little Leo, seemed delighted to compare his talents balls in hand. He also found several colleagues there, in particular Mory Sacko, ex-candidate of Top Chef who became a presenter on France 3. Laurent Petit, who won three stars in the Michelin Guide, was also present.
Bernard Montiel, radiant in his denim shirt, navigated between all the personalities present with him. Smiling, he notably posed with drummer Manu Katché, relaxed, and with singer Nicoletta, who came with her husband Jean-Christophe Molinier. Caroline Margeridon, who would not have missed this event for anything in the world, was also present, tanned in her white shirt and jeans.
But the one that caught everyone’s eye is Loana: used to the place (she grew up not far from there, between Cannes and Grasse), the forty-year-old who was picked up by Internet users for the makeover show in which she participated was smiling and took advantage of the day in the company of Nicoletta in particular. Dressed in black, a white shawl placed around her shoulders, the young woman had left her hair loose and posed in front of the photographers. Her friend Eryl Prayer, with whom she spends a lot of time, had not made the trip.
Among the other personalities present, we found Chantal Ladesou: the 74-year-old comedian seemed to have come without her husband Michel Ansault, nor her children Clémence and Julien, both already parents (Clémence has three children, and Julien, with the actress Pauline Lefèvre, had twins almost two years ago).
Daniel Lauclair, a former sports journalist for France Television, cheerfully provided the entertainment for the day and was able to find a former colleague, Tex, who was delighted to compete with other personalities on the pétanque court. In short, a good day… for a good cause!
