Already five years since Norbert Tarayre left France. The famous chef, also a TV presenter who is particularly famous in The Combat of the Regions: My cuisine is the best in France (M6) with Gilles Goujon and Aurélie Chaigneau settled on the other side of the Atlantic. Indeed, with his small family, it was in Miami that he put down his luggage. With our colleagues from the magazine Paris hereon newsstands this Wednesday, July 6, 2022, the formerTop chef revels in his new life under Florida palm trees.
“Thanks to TV, I made a small network and I met French people who settled in Miami and encouraged me to join them.“, he recalls. And Norbert Tarayre is not the only one to have left France for the sun of South Beach. Indeed, he says he met several personalities well known to French viewers on the spot. “I go there from time to time, I met Charly Nestor from Charly and Lulu, the former members of M6, the ex-skater Sarah Abitbol or even Patrick from Club Dorothée”, he says. In short, Miami seems to represent a real Eldorado for many!
For his part, Norbert Tarayre, who recently had health problems, likes it anyway. This decision even made him look younger! “In Florida, I’m a wonder kidhe says. For me, buying in the United States was a delirium. I arrived on a tourist visa and bought a small house, that’s the American dream. I am a 42 year old kid and I am well aware of being privileged.” An unnamed happiness that he shares with his other half, the beautiful Abi, their son Elydjah as well as Gayane (15 years old), Laly (12 years old) and Aliya (8 years old), the three daughters born of the chef’s past love with his ex-wife Amandine.
In August 2017, with our colleagues from the magazine Audiencehe spoke of his departure and revealed that he preferred to offer himself “a cheaper shack there“rather than a”very expensive house in the suburbs of Paris“. This is how he fell for a home “very simple“in North Miami Beach,”of 230 m², on one level with swimming pool and 800 m² of land“. All for an inclusive price “between 400,000 and 500,000 euros“, sum for which he made a credit.
