“It wasn’t easy to move to the South, but we are so much better. Paris with children, we couldn’t live it anymore. Even if Paris remains in my heart and in my schedule”, he admitted in September 2022, when he made the decision to leave the capital with his sweetheart, Alice Detollenaere, towards Marseille. And finally, almost 2 years later, Camille Lacourt does not regret her choice in any way.
“I am only three hours by TGV from Paris“
Like a fish in water in the Marseille city, the 38-year-old swimmer would have settled“near Borély Park and the Prado beaches, in the south of Marseille”, as reported The Parisian in its columns. And he readily admits to our colleagues: “I’m crazy about this city. It soothes me. I love its natural side, the immediate proximity to the sea, the philosophy of its inhabitants. Here, the people are human. They don’t have their noses in their phone, they look up in the street, talk to each other. And what’s more, I’m only three hours by TGV from Paris.”
The father of Jazz (whom he had with Valérie Bègue) and of Marius, born from his current love story, also ensures “It’s this quality of life that I wanted for my children”. He sweeps away the clichés on“settling of scores linked to drug trafficking”, which would be commonplace on site, ensuring that there is no“not concerned”since “It happens in neighborhoods where I never go”, he said.
Soon back in Paris
In any case, we hope that returning to Paris this summer to comment on the Olympic Games with France Télévisions at the Trocadéro will not be too hard for the native of Narbonne (Aude), who has found his little corner of paradise, in the sun. .
