The link is not only physical between Jean-Pierre Foucault and his daughter Virginie. Indeed, he is a great journalist and animator… and so is she ! This charming 48-year-old brunette began her television career on the Téva channel in 2006. At the time, her famous dad was against this career choice…”The discussion was tough, had declared the host who became a program producer to our colleagues from the Parisian. I was afraid of his look because he is extremely perfectionist.” In the end, Virginie pursued her dreams. She worked on the launch of Do not touch My TV (at the time on France 4). Today, she is the director of the Le Boulon cultural center and of the Les Turbulentes festival.
A busy professional life, just like his dad! So, the confinements imposed in the context of the health crisis linked to Covid-19 allowed them to find each other. “With this confinement, we rediscover the joys that we had forgotten, such as speaking. I am confined with my wife and our daughter [Virginie ndlr] and we talk, declared Jean-Pierre Foucault to our colleagues from TVMag. Before, we just looked at our phone, tablet or television. There, now, we take the time to listen to each other and respect each other.” A never-lost complicity that has been strengthened in this way.
