We tend to forget it but before being one of the leading public service hosts, Faustine Bollaert scoured the shows as a columnist, like everyone else! After putting her talent to good use on programs presented by Alexandre Devoise, Jean-Marc Morandini and Patrick Sébastien, Faustine Bollaert landed on Michel Drucker’s red sofa in Roll on next Sunday and this, for four seasons. Moments fondly remembered by the iconic host on the airwaves of Laughter and Songs.
Invited to promote his next show, From you to me, on Cédric Cizaire’s show, Michel Drucker was questioned behind the scenes of the essential France 2 program, on the guests and on the potential rapprochements that may have existed between members of the team and stars invited to the couch.

She was often flirted with by our guests and then there are couples who formed, deformed, reformed in the dressing rooms. But that’s in all the shows.“

The 43-year-old presenter is more than ever in love with the writer Maxime Chattam, met on the set of What if that was happiness? show she presented in 2010: “I had invited him because I wanted to know what was hidden behind the pen of this writer, a pen that I found fascinating. And I discovered an equally fascinating man.”
Love did the rest. Two years later, Maxime Chattam and Faustine Bollaert married under the eyes of their loved ones before Abbie and Peter, their two children aged 8 and 6, came to expand their family. Ten years of marriage later, the lovebirds still live on love and fresh water. Not enough to inspire one of Mr.’s next novels…
