This Saturday, November 18, 2023, Patrick Bruel was Nathalie Renoux’s guest in The Unexpected Journal broadcast on RTL. After realizing his dream of giving the timetable at the start of the show, the 64-year-old artist spoke at length about his love for France. “I was born in Algeria, I lived in Paris and I believe that the center of my world was the happy medium: Provence.he explained with a smile on his lips.
A lover of this region, the interpreter of Place of great men even bought an estate in L’Isle-sur-Sorgue, at the gates of the Luberon, in Vaucluse. A place of peace for Léon and Oscar’s father who has a deep passion for olive trees and refined local products. “When I started making olive oil, I had no gastronomic ambition. It was for my personal consumption, because I have always loved this product, a symbol of peace and pillar of Mediterranean culture After hearing that my oil was exceptional, in 2015, I decided to rethink everything: until then, we had let nature take its course without working or asking questions, I wanted to to invest myself in producing the Zidane of olive oil, and, according to what certain great chefs like Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy tell me, the result is not bad…”, he confided in the columns of Paris Match in 2019.
