Dammarie, it’s over. Hervé Vilard could very well have added it in his famous title Caprithis Thursday, February 1, 2024 if he had been alongside Pierre and Julien. Indeed, the two finalists of the star Academy spent their last evening at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys this Thursday. Because Friday will be devoted to rehearsals for the last bonus of the season scheduled for this Saturday, February 3. Pierre and Julien will face off during the last evening hosted by Nikos Aliagas to find out which of the two candidates will be crowned the big winner of the season.
And for their last at the castle, they were treated to many surprises. The day before, on Wednesday, the two boys jumped for joy when they discovered that their ex-friends had come to visit them. Axel, Louis, Victorien, Candice, Margot, Marie-Maud, Clara, Héléna, Djébril, and even Lola were indeed invited to the castle to spend an entire evening with the two finalists. But an emblematic candidate was missing. Lénie, unwell after attending the Jacquemus parade in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, was in fact unable to make it to the castle.

Pierre and Julien on the verge of tears for their last at the castle
Bedridden, she still received a call from Julien and Pierre to check on her. After the evening with ex-comrades, the finalists were treated to a special day. Vitaa, the godmother of this promotion, came to visit them to give them the last advice before the grand final. A few hours later, it was with great surprise that the two candidates welcomed one of the most fashionable French stylists of recent years: Simon Porte Jacquemus.
After speaking with the stylist, it was time for the duo to pack their bags and say goodbye to the castle which welcomed them for several months. A moving sequence, in which Pierre and Julien hold each other’s shoulders and watch the lights go out little by little to the title of Gilbert Montagné, We are going to love each other, which the promotion took up in its own way. The two friends were even surprised by a mini fireworks display which lit up the entire castle.
