Every evening, it delights TF1 viewers from 9 p.m. It’s Canteloup, his satirical show where he slips into the skin of different personalities present in the news. And when he leaves the antenna, Nicolas Canteloup resumes his role of fulfilled dad. He is lucky to have four children aged 21, 12, 10 and 6. With them, he is far from the joking imitator. Indeed, at home, it is rather strict!
At the Canteloups, there are rules. First of all, no television for the family! A funny decision on the part of the host who invites himself every evening in the living room of the French through the small screen. “At home, I don’t like; it is a trap, an abyss that sucks you in and wastes your time. Especially for children, he said in an interview with the magazine Psychologies in 2014. Educating children is complicated enough as it is not to add these obstacles such as TV, Internet, video games or laptops. Our children have none of that.“
A strict but fulfilling way of life in the Canteloup family
This choice maysound radical“and he hears it.”But, since they were raised this way, it is not a problem for them. They are very fulfilled. When they come back, they are with the horses. I use horseback riding to educate them“, he added. Because yes, this vice champion of France major of the more than 40 years shares his passion with his children. In 2020, with the Sunday newspaper (JDD), the former host of Europe 1 said he was very proud of his eldest daughter Anouk, “European champion eventing, individual and team“.”It is the result of wonderful years of complicity with her, hours of riding, hours of lessons. (…) The little ones follow the same path“, he had congratulated himself. A real pleasure to be able to ride a horse alongside his four children, to whom he took care to transmit this love of animals and particularly equines!
